the following Commission regulations: 1. General Design Criterion 10 (GDC 10), which requires that the reactor core and associated coolant, control and protection systems be designed with appropriate margin to assure that specified acceptable fuel design limits are not to be exceeded during any condition of normal operation, including the effects of anticipated operational occurrences. 2. General Design Criterion 13 (GDC 13), which requires that the availability of instrumentation to monitor variables and systems over their anticipated ranges to assure adequate safety, and of appropriate controls to maintain these variables and systems within prescribed operating ranges. 3. General Design Criterion 20 (GDC 20), which requires, in part, that the protection system shall be designed to initiate automatically the operation of appropriate systems to ensure that specified acceptable fuel design limits are not exceeded as a result of anticipated operational occurrences. 4. General Design Criterion 25 (GDC 25), which requires that the reactor protection system be designed to assure that specified acceptable fuel design limits are not exceeded for any single malfunction of the reactivity control systems, such as accidental withdrawal (not ejection or dropout) of control rods. 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 requirements of General Design Criteria 10, 20, and 25 concerning the
