quences of a postulated pipe rupture. The specific areas of review are as follows: 1. The criteria used to define break and crack locations and configurations. 2. The analytical methods used to define the forcing functions, including the jet thrust reaction at the postulated pipe break or crack location and jet impingement loadings on adjacent safety-related SSCs. 3. The dynamic analysis methods used to verify the integrity and operability of mechanical components, component supports, and piping systems, including restraints and other protective devices, under postulated pipe rupture loads. 4. The implementation of the criteria for defining pipe break and crack locations and configurations. 5. The criteria dealing with special features, such as augmented inservice inspection programs or the use of special protective devices such as pipe-whip restraints, including diagrams showing final configurations, locations, and orientations in relation to break locations in each piping system. 6. The acceptability of the analysis results, including jet thrust and impingement forcing functions, and pipe-whip dynamic effects. 7. The design adequacy of systems, components, and component supports to ensure that the intended design functions will not be impaired to an unacceptable level of integrity or operability as a result of pipe whip or jet impingement loadings. 8. Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC). For design certification (DC) and combined license (COL) reviews, the staff reviews the applicant's proposed ITAAC associated with the SSCs related to this SRP section in accordance with SRP Section 14.3, “Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria.” The staff recognizes that the review of ITAAC cannot be completed until after the rest of this portion of the application has been reviewed against acceptance criteria contained in this SRP section. Furthermore, the staff reviews the ITAAC to ensure that all SSCs in this area of review are
