REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Containment Systems Branch (CSB) Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The CSB reviews the information in the applicant's safety analysis report (SAR) concerning containment heat removal under post-accident conditions to assure conformance with the requirements of General Design Criteria 38, 39, and 40 (Ref. 1, 2 and 3). The types of systems provided to remove heat from the containment include fan cooler systems, spray systems, and residual heat removal systems. These systems remove heat from the containment atmosphere and the containment sump water, or the water in the containment wetwell. The CSB review includes the following analyses and aspects of containment heat removal system designs: 1. Analyses of the consequences of single component malfunctions. 2. Analyses of the available net positive suction head (NPSH) to the containment heat removal system pumps. 3. Analyses of the heat removal capability of the spray water system. 4. Analyses of the heat removal capability of fan cooler heat exchangers. 5. The potential for surface fouling of fan cooler, recirculation, and residual heat removal heat exchangers, and the effect on heat exchanger performance. 6. The design provisions and proposed program for periodic inservice inspection and operability testing of each system or component. 7. The design of sumps and water sources for emergency core cooling and containment spray systems, including an assessment for potential loss of Rev. 4 - October 1985 USNRC STANDARD REVIEW PLAN Standard review plans are prepared for the guidance of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the review of applications to construct and operate nuclear power plants. These documents are made available to the public as part of the Commission's policy to inform the nuclear Industry and the general public of regulatory procedures and policies.
