rt 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,” to determine its applicability to SFR designs. The NRC staff then determined what if any adaptation was appropriate for SFRs. The results are included in column 2 of the table below. The table also includes the NRC staff’s rationale for the adaptations. In many cases, the rationale refers to changes made to the language of the GDC. To fully understand the context of the rationale, the user of this RG should refer to the appropriate GDC. Where the NRC staff determined that the current GDC or the ARDC were applicable to the SFR-DC, the table denotes “Same as GDC” or “Same as ARDC,” respectively. The table consists of three columns: Column 1—Criterion Number Column 2—SFR-DC Title and Content Column 3—Staff Rationale for Adaptations to GDC The table is further divided into seven sections similar to those in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A: Section I—Overall Requirements (Criteria 1–5) Section II—Multiple Barriers (Criteria 10–19) Section III—Reactivity Control (Criteria 20–29) Section IV—Fluid Systems (Criteria 30–46) Section V—Reactor Containment (Criteria 50–57) Section VI—Fuel and Radioactivity Control (Criteria 60–64) Section VII—Additional SFR-DC (Criteria 70–77) APPENDIX B. SODIUM-COOLED FAST REACTOR DESIGN CRITERIA Appendix B to DG-1330, Page B-2 I. Overall Requirements Criterion SFR-DC Title and Content NRC Rationale for Adaption to GDC 1 Quality standards and records. Same as GDC 2 Design bases for protection against natural phenomena. Same as GDC 3 Fire protection. Same as ARDC Structures, systems, and components important to safety shall be designed and located to minimize, consistent with other safety requirements, the probability and effect of fires and explosions. Noncombustible and fire-resistant materials shall be used wherever practical throughout the unit, particularly in locations with structures, systems, or components important to safety.
