struction permit stage. This effort should particularly evaluate the need for any special design features required to perform acceptable test programs. 10. The Technical Specifications organization is contacted regarding the proposed plant technical specifications for the following purposes: A. Confirm the suitability of the limiting conditions of operation, including the proposed time limits and reactor operating restrictions for periods when system equipment is inoperable because of repairs and maintenance. B. Verify the adequacy of the frequency and scope of periodic surveillance testing 11. The reviewer confirms that the RCIC is housed in a structure with a design and design criteria that have been reviewed by other organizations (i.e., Balance of Plant, Geosciences, Civil Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering) to ensure that it provides adequate protection against wind, tornadoes, floods, and missiles, as appropriate. 12. The reviewer checks the automatic and manual actions necessary for proper functioning of the RCIC system (in conjunction with the HPCS or HPCI system, the SRVs, and the suppression pool cooling mode of RHR) for completeness and practicality when used for RHR, per the requirements of item II.K.1.22 of NUREG-0737. 13. The reviewer checks the RCIC system break detection provisions to confirm that the system is protected against spurious trip signals, per the direction of item II.K.3.15 of NUREG-0737 and NUREG-0718. For plants using a time delay for this protection, the reviewer verifies that the design is consistent with the staff positions in Generic Letter No. 83-02 regarding minimum and maximum expected response times. For plants that do not use a time delay for spurious isolation protection, the reviewer verifies that the applicant has properly justified the design and that the applicant’s test program and test results demonstrate that the system satisfies the intent of II.K.3.15 in preventing spurious isolation of the RCIC system on
