NUREG-1537, Part 2 - NRC

. REAMCOR DESCuPTION
* The design offers reasonable assurance that the shield can be successfully
installed with no radiation treaming or other leakage that would exceed
the limits of 10 CFR Part 20 and the guidelines ofthe facity ALARA
-program.
* Reactor components are sufficiently shielded to avoid significant radiationrelated
degradation or malfunction.
* The applicant has justified appropriate limiting conditions for operation and
surveillance requirements for the 'shield and included them in the technical
specifications. '
4.5 Nuclear Design ; . .
In this section of the SAR, the applicant should show how the systems described in
this chapter function together to form a nuclear reactor that can be operated and.
shut down safely from any'operating condition. The analyses should address all
possible operating conditions (steady and pulsed power)'throughout the reactoes
anticipated life cycle Because the information in this section describes the
characteristics necessary to ensure safe and reliable operation, it will determine the
design bases for most other chapters of the SAR and the technical specifications.
The text, drawings, and tables should completely describe the reactor operating
characteristics and safety features.
4.5.1 Normal Operating Conditions'
Areas of Rew. ..
In this section of the SAR, the applicant should discuss the configuration for a
functional reactor that can be operated safely...
The areas of review are discussed in this section of the format and content guide.
Accepace Criteria
The acceptance criteria for the information on normal operating conditions include
the following: ,
The information should show a complete, operable reactor core. Control
rods should be sufficiently redundant and diverse to control all proposed
excess reactivity safely and to safely shut down the reactor and maintain it
in a shutdown condition. The analyses of reactivities should include
individual and total control rod effects.
