3 DESIGN OF STRUCTURES, SYSTEMS, AND
COMPONENTS
This chapter gives guidance for reviewing and evaluating the principal architectural
and engineein'g 'design criteria for the structures, systems, and components that
have been identified by the analyses in this and other chapters of the SAR to ensure
reactor faciity safety and protection of the public. The bases of some design
features may be developed and presented in other chapters of the SAR (e.g., the
confinement or the containment, air exhaust stack, and environmental requirements
for safety systems) and need only be'referenced in this chapter.
3.1 Design Criteria-
Areas of Review .. --
Areas of review should include the criteria for the design and construction of the
structures, systems, and components that are required to ensure the following:
* safe reactor operation
* safe reactor shutdown and continued safe conditions
* response to anticipated transients
a .response to potential accidents analyzed in Chapter 13, "Accident
Analyses," of the SAR.
* control of radioactive material discussed in Chapter 11, "Radiation
Protection Program and Waste Management," of the SAR
Accepuace Criteria . .... .
The acceptance criteria for the information on design criteria include the following:
* Design criteria should be specified for each structure, system, and
component that is assumed in the SAR to perform an operational or safety
function.
* Design criteria should include references to applicable up-to-date,
standards, guides, and codes. They should be stipulated for those features
discussed in the format and content guide for this section, as outlined
below: . ., . , ,,
