Design Bases Specifications are facility-specific. They
restate
Design Requirements
into statements that specify what your unique facility or
plant will do to comply with a specific requirement. They are
as made as specific as possible and still address how the
requirement is met by the facility as whole, not by the
system, component or structure.
Note
that general requirements can often produce very complex and
convoluted Design Bases Specifications necessary to specify
the range of plant systems and configurations necessary to
comply with the requirement. In the past, these complex
conditional statements would be found in the Final Safety
Analysis Report (FSAR) or similar document, but in the
Williamson-Merritt
Taxonomy,
these descriptions are incorporated as Design Bases
Specifications to provide specific design guidance for
your installation.
