NUREG-1537, Part 2 - NRC

CHAPTER3
- design for the complete range of normal reactor operating
conditions
- design to cope with anticipated transients and potential accidents
- design redundancy to protect against unsafe conditions in case of
single failures of reactor protective and safety systems
- design to facilitate inspection, testing, and maintenance
- design to limit the likelihood and consequences of fires, explosions,
and other potential manmade conditions
- quality standards commensurate with the safety function and
potential risks
- design bases to withstand or mitigate wind, water, and seismic
damage to reactor systems and structures
- analysis of function, reliability, and maintainability of systems and
components
In this section the applicant should identify the structures, systems, and
components by function(s), modes of operation, location, type(s) of actuation,
relative importance in the control of radioactive material and radiation, applicable
design criteria, and the chapter and section in the SAR where these design criteria
are applied to the specific structure, system, or component.
Review Procedures
The reviewer should compare the specified design criteria with the proposed and
analyzed normal reactor operation, response to anticipated transients, and
consequences of accident conditions applicable to the appropriate structures,
systems, and components assumed to function in each chapter of the SAR.
Evaluation Findings
This section of the SAR should contain sufficient information to support the
following type of conclusion, which will be included in the staffs safety evaluation
report:
The design criteria are based on applicable standards, guides, codes, and
criteria and provide reasonable assurance that the facility structures,
systems, and components can be built and will function as designed and
