-related equipment be designed to permit appropriate periodic inspection of important components such as heat exchangers and piping to ensure the integrity and capability of the system. The CSF can be included in the plant design to provide a source of cooling of the reactor core. In these plants, the CSF needs to be designed such that the ability to perform these safety-related functions can be periodically verified. By allowing for periodic monitoring to detect signs of system degradation or incipient 9.2.6-7 Revision 3 - March 2007 failure, compliance with GDC 45 provides assurance that the CSF will reliably function to provide decay heat removal and/or cooling to safety-related equipment. 5. GDC 46 requires that systems that provide essential cooling for safety-related equipment be designed to permit appropriate periodic pressure and functional testing to ensure the structural and leak-tight integrity of its components. The CSF can be included in the plant design to provide a source of cooling of the reactor core. This testing will include the operability and performance of the active components of the system as well as the operability of the system as a whole. By designing the CSF to accommodate testing to detect degradation in performance or the system pressure boundary, compliance with GDC 45 ensures that the CSF will reliably function to provide both cooling to safety-related equipment and decay heat removal. 6. GDC 60 requires that nuclear power unit designs include a means to control the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents produced during normal reactor operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. The criteria in GDC 60 apply to all tanks that are located outside the reactor containment and include radioactive materials in liquids. These tanks have the potential for uncontrolled releases of radioactive materials attributable to spillage. Through its connections with the reactor coolant system (in boiling-water reactors) or
