ing type to be included in the staff's safety evaluation report: The new fuel storage facility includes the fuel assembly storage racks, the concrete storage vault that contains the storage racks, and auxiliary components. Based on the review of the applicant's proposed design criteria, design bases, and 'safety classification for the new fuel storage facility regarding the provisions necessary to maintain a subcritical array. The staff concludes that the design of the new fuel storage facility and supporting systems is acceptable and meets the requirements of General Design Criteria 2, 5, 61, and 62 with respect to the measures taken to provide protection against the effects of natural phenomena, missiles, environmental conditions, and the sharing of structures, systems, and components. This conclusion is based on the following: 1. The natural phenomena requirements of General Design Criterion 2 regarding earthquakes have been met since it conforms to position C.1.l of Regulatory Guide 1.29. 2. The shared portions of the new fuel storage facility between nuclear power units meet the requirements of General Design Criterion 5 in that it was demonstrated that such sharing.did not impair, under accident condi- tions, the shared structures, systems, and components ability to perform this safety functions. 3. The fuel storage and handling and radioactivity control aspects of General Design Criterion 61 and the criticality aspects of General Design Criterion 62 have been met based on the new fuel storage system meeting ANS 57.1 and ANS 57.3 as they relate to the prevention of criticality and radiological releases. V.
