Content:
ting system, if installed, during an accident that releases hydrogen from a 100% fuel clad metal-water reaction. During the accident at TMI-2, metal-water reactions generated hydrogen in excess of the amounts originally anticipated. As a result of this finding, the Commission issued requirements on hydrogen control in 10 CFR 50.34(f). Other criteria require the containment to be designed to withstand postulated accidents. If such a postulated accident releases or generates hydrogen, an added containment pressurization effect beyond the initial accident may be experienced due to burning of hydrogen. The 6.2.1.1.A-7 Revision 3 - March 2007 containment must be designed to withstand this additional pressure to ensure that its integrity is maintained, thus precluding the release of radioactivity to the environment. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. 1. Upon request from the primary reviewer, the reviewer of an interfacing SRP Section may provide input to address an area of review stated in Subsection I of this SRP section. The primary reviewer obtains and uses such input as required to assure that this review is complete. 2. The primary review organization reviews the containment response analyses to determine the acceptability of the calculated containment design pressure and temperature, and in addition, the containment depressurization time. The organization responsible for SRP Section 15.0.3 must be notified if the containment depressurization time does not meet the acceptance criterion. The primary review organization for this SRP section reviews the
