Jacobus, M J

This report reviews applicable guides, standards, and codes which govern the design, manufacture, selection, installation, and surveillance practices for components and systems important to control room habitability. It covers the fundamental guidance contained in General Design Criteria, Regulatory Guides, and applicable sections of the Standard Review Plan, as well as numerous documents referenced by this guidance. Instances are cited where the present guidance is misleading, contradictory, or vague. In some cases, the problems in the guidance result from inadequate technical bases; in other cases, the problems result from several documents which are not completely consistent. To independently assess the suitability of the regulatory guide which covers accidental chlorine releases, a computer program was developed to calculate chlorine concentrations in the control room following chlorine release. Although problems with the assumptions used to develop the guide were found, the conservative nature of the chlorine calculations appears to adequately compensate for these problems.
