REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Reactor Systems Branch (RSB) Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The RSB reviews the information presented in the applicant's safety analysis report (SAR) regarding the emergency core cooling system (ECCS). The major elements of the review are: 1. Design Bases The design bases for the ECCS are reviewed to assure that they satisfy applicable regulations, including the general design criteria and the amendments to 10 CFR Part 50 regarding ECCS acceptance criteria issued by the Comnission on December 28, 1973 (Ref. 1). 2. Design The design of the ECCS is reviewed to determine that it is capable of per- forming all of the functions required by the design bases. 3. Test Program The preoperational and initial startup test programs for the ECCS are reviewed by the Procedures and Systems Review Branch (PSRB) to determine if they are sufficient to confirm the performance capability of the ECCS. RSB reviews the need for special design features to permit the performance of adequate test programs.
