The regulatory positions of these guides are now considered to be covered by one or more of the following national standards:

" Materials, Construction, and Testing of Concrete Containments (Articles CC-1000. -2000, and -4000 through -6000 of the Code for Concrete Reactor Vessels and Containments)."

" Quality Assurance Requirements for Installation, Inspection, and Testing of Structural Concrete and Structural Steel During the Construction Phase of Nuclear Power Plants."

Therefore, Regulatory Guides 1.10,1.15,1.18,1.19,1.55, and 1.103.are being withdrawn. Withdrawal of these auides is in no way intended to alter any prior or existing licensing consnitments based on their use. ,

Regulatory guides may be withdrawn when they are superseded by the Commission's regulations, when equivalent recommendations have been incorporated in applicable approved codes and standards, or when changes -

SUBJECT:

CLASSIFICATION OF SPENT FUEL POOL LIHER PLATES (AITS F12193H1) (AITS F30382H1)

We have been orally informed by the Division of Project Management, NRR that fuel pool liners are not requimd to be designed and erected to -

Seismic Category I requirements. The basis for this position is that .

the primary function of the pool liner is to provide a leak tight' barrier

  • and a surface suitable for decontamination, rather than to serve as a critical safety structure. Furthemore the probability of large leaks occurring and being undetected over a period of time such that a potential hazard might be incurred is acceptably low. ,,

We wish to emphasize however, that this decision does not effe'ct'the classification of the fuel pool storage s,tructure, storage racks, supports -

and piping, all of which are required to be., designed and erected to Seismic Category I. requirements.

SUBJECT:

PREPARATION OF A STATEMENT ON THE NRC STAFF'S POSITION ON THE SPENT FUEL POOL LINER FOR COMANCHE PEAK NPP We reply to the request for identification of the structural engineering acceptance criteria on the design of spent fuel liners, based on V. Noonan memorandum, dated December 7, 1984, and discussions between S. Burwell and . J. Holonick with F. Rinaldi of my staff. We understand this information will be used by ycur staff in the preparation of the staff position on spent fuel pool liners for Comanche Peak NPP. The fuel pool is considered a Category I structure. However, the fuel pool liner is not designed as a load supporting member, including the seismic loads resulting from SSE. Although the liner has load carrying capability, no credit for this load carrying capacity is considered in the design of the spent fuel pool. The structural engineering staff requires that the structure providing structural support to the liner system be a Category I structure, and that a leak chase system be provided. These requirements' i are intended to assure that the liner will function to provide a leak tight barrier, a surface suitable for decontamination, and a leak detection system, as required by your staff. , The Division of Reactor Construction Inspection IE, informed all regional offices in early 1979 on the above classification of spent fuel pool liner plates. We are enclosing copies of two IE memos on the subject. If you-have additional questions, contact Frank Rinaldi of my staff.
