HS safety function significantly. SRP Section 9.1.4 provides guidance to meet these requirements. This requirement provides assurance that the LLHS and its SSCs will continue to perform their required safety functions when the LLHS is shared among nuclear power units and that safe handling of fuel will not be jeopardized. 3. GDC 61 requires that fuel storage and handling, radioactive waste, and other systems that may contain radioactive materials be designed for adequate safety under normal and postulated-accident conditions. GDC 61 requires LLHS design for safe fuel handling and storage under normal and accident conditions. SRP Section 9.1.4 addresses handling of fuel and spent fuel, which, if dropped, mishandled, or damaged, could cause releases of radioactive materials or unacceptable personnel radiation exposures. ANSI/ANS 57.1-1992 provides guidance for meeting these requirements. 9.1.4-5 Revision 3 - March 2007 This requirement provides reasonable assurance that releases of radioactive materials and unacceptable personnel radiation exposures from damage to irradiated fuel will be avoided. 4. GDC 62 requires prevention of criticality in the fuel handling and storage system by physical systems or processes, preferably by geometrically safe configurations. GDC 62 requirements ensure that fuel handling and storage SSCs will be controlled so criticality will not be reached, ensuring the safety of the public. ANSI/ANS 57.1-1992 provides guidance for meeting these requirements. These requirements provide assurance that the LLHS will operate under adequately safe conditions and avoid criticality accidents and consequent releases of radioactive materials from damage to or changes in fuel, ensuring acceptable levels of personnel radiation exposure. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The LLHS provides for handling of fuel assemblies and light loads like control rods, burnable poison rods, and flow-limiting orifices. The general objective of the review is to confirm that the LLHS
