Preliminary studies have, in general, indicated the need for modifications and improvements to the reactor last ditch coolants systems in order to provide adequate safety of operation at power levels programmed for the future. These studies have indicated the need for improved reliability as well as increased capacity for the last ditch coolant systems. A design study is being prepared by Reactor Modification Design to define the scope of the modifications required to provide adequate last ditch systems for the older areas. Adequate last ditch cooling will be provided for the 100-K Areas under Project CGI-844 which is currently in progress. The purpose of this document is to set forth the operating conditions and objectives on which the study will be based.
