iate margin to ensure that the pressure boundary will not be breached during normal operations including anticipated operational occurrences. 4. General Design Criterion 20 (GDC 20), as it relates the reactor protection system being designed to initiate automatically the operation of appropriate systems, including the reactivity control systems, to ensure that specified acceptable fuel design limits are not exceeded during any condition of normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. 5. General Design Criterion 26 (GDC 26), as it relates to the reliable control of reactivity changes to ensure that specified acceptable fuel design limits are not exceeded, including anticipated operational occurrences. This is accomplished by ensuring that appropriate margin for malfunctions such as stuck rods are accounted for. SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC’s regulations identified above are as follows for the review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC’s regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for its facility and the SRP acceptance criteria and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC regulations. The basic objectives of the review of the transients which result from an increase in heat removal are: 1. To identify which of the moderate-frequency initiating events that result in increased heat removal are the most limiting. 2. To verify that, for the most limiting initiating events, the plant responds to the transients in such a way that the criteria regarding fuel damage and system pressure are met. The specific criteria necessary to meet the requirements of General Design Criteria 10, 15, 20, and 26 for
