aGDC 25, 26, and 28 are satisfied if compliance with General Design CriteriaGDC 10 24 and 15 is demonstrated. Technical Rationale25 The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria is discussed in the following paragraphs:26 1. Compliance with GDC 10 requires that the reactor core and associated coolant, control, and protection systems be designed with appropriate margin to ensure that specified acceptable fuel design limits are not exceeded during any condition of normal operation, including the effects of anticipated operational occurrences. GDC 10 is applicable to this SRP section because the reviewer evaluates the consequences of events associated with startup of an inactive loop or recirculation loop at an incorrect temperature and with a flow controller malfunction causing an increase in BWR core flow rate. This section, SRP Sections 4.2 through 4.4 and 7.2 through 7.5, DRAFT Rev. 2 - April 1996 15.4.4-6 and Regulatory Guides 1.53 and 1.105 provide guidance for ensuring that the reactor core, coolant, and control and protection systems are designed with appropriate margin. Meeting the requirements of GDC 10 provides assurance that specified acceptable fuel design limits are not exceeded during any condition of normal operation, including the effects of AOOs.27 2. Compliance with GDC 15 requires that the reactor coolant system and associated auxiliary, control, and protection systems be designed with sufficient margin to ensure that the design conditions of the reactor coolant pressure boundary are not exceeded during any condition of normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. GDC 15 is applicable to this SRP section because the reviewer evaluates the consequences of events associated with startup of an inactive loop or recirculation loop at an incorrect temperature and with a flow controller malfunction causing an increase in BWR core flow rate. This section, SRP Sections 4.2 through 4.4 and 7.2 through 7.5, and
