. The cooling portion of the system and the emergency primary makeup 9.1.3-15 DRAFT Rev. 2 - April 1996 system are designed to seismic Category I, Quality Group C requirements since they are necessary to remove decay heat from the spent fuel and to prevent fuel damage that could lead to unacceptable releases of radioactivity. The cooling portion of the system need not be designed to seismic Category I requirements if the makeup system and the building ventilation and filtration system are seismic Category I, and if the ventilation and filtration system meet the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.52. The staff concludes that the design of the spent fuel pool cooling and cleanup system 114 and its makeup system meets the requirements of General Design Criteria 2, 4, 5, 44, 45, 46, 61, and 63. This conclusion is based on the following: 1. The applicant has met the requirements of General Design Criterion 2 with 115 respect to safety-related portions of the system being protected against natural phenomena. Acceptance is based on meeting the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.13, position C.1, which recommends a seismic Category I design for necessary portions of the spent fuel storage facility; position C.2, regarding protection against winds and wind generated missiles; position C.6, as it relates to the system being capable of withstanding earthquakes without loss of coolant that would uncover the fuel; and position C.8, which recommends a seismic Category I makeup system with appropriate redundancy or a backup from a Category I water source. Acceptance is also based on meeting the seismic design requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.29, position C.1, for safety-related portions of the system necessary for adequate cooling to prevent excessive radioactivity releases (position C.1.p of Regulatory Guide 1.29) and position C.2 as it relates to the failure of nonsafety-related portions of the system. If the fuel pool building ventilation and filtration systems are designed to
