Content:
ystem and associated auxiliary control and protection systems should be designed with sufficient margin to ensure that the design conditions of the RCPB are not exceeded during any condition of normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. 5. GDC 30 requires, in part, that components that are part of the RCPB should be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to the highest quality standards practical. 6. GDC 31 requires, in part, that the RCPB should be designed with sufficient margin to ensure that-when stressed under operating, maintenance, testing, and postulated accident conditions-the boundary behaves in a nonbrittle manner, thereby minimizing the probability of rapidly propagating fracture. 7. 10 CFR 50.55a(c), 10 CFR 50.55a(d), and 10 CFR 50.55a(e) generally require certain grouping of components, including those compromising the pressure boundary, to meet the requirements of Section III of the ASME Code. 8. Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 applies to the steam generator materials. Of particular note is Criterion XIII, which requires, in part, that measures shall be established to control the cleaning of material and equipment in accordance with work and inspection procedures to prevent damage or deterioration. 9. Appendix G to10 CFR Part 50 requires that RCPB pressure-retaining components that are made of ferritic materials meet ASME Code requirements for fracture toughness during system hydrostatic tests and any condition of normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. 10. 10 CFR 52.47(b)(1), which requires that a DC application contain the proposed inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC) that are necessary and sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that, if the inspections, tests, and analyses are performed and the acceptance criteria met, a plant that incorporates the design certification is built and will operate in accordance with the design certification, the provisions of the Atomic Energy
