EVALUATION FINDINGS The reviewer verifies that sufficient information has been provided and his review supports conclusions of the following type, to be included in the staff's safety evaluation report: The review of the plant design for protection against postulated piping failures outside containment included all high and moderate energy piping systems located outside containment. The review of these high and moderate energy systems for the plant included layout drawings, piping and instrumentation diagrams, and descriptive information. The staff concludes that the facility design for protection against postulated piping failures outside containment is acceptable and meets the requirements of General Design Criterion 4 with respect to accommodating the effects of postulated pipe ruptures. The applicant has met the require- ment of General Design Criteria 4 with respect to postulated pipe ruptures by conforming to Branch Technical Position SPLB 3-1. 3.6.1-7 Rev. 2 - October 1990 V. IMPLEMENTATION The following is intended to provide guidance to applicants and licensees regarding the NRC staff's plans for using this SRP section. Except in those cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission's regulations, the method described herein will be used by the staff in its evaluation of conformance with Commission
