ortant to safety will be performed in accordance with criteria and standards (or their equivalent) cited in this SRP section, thereby ensuring that such equipment can withstand the seismic and dynamic load effects of natural phenomena in combination with normal and accident conditions. 4. Compliance with GDC 14 requires that the RCPB be tested to demonstrate an extremely low probability of abnormal leakage, rapidly propagating failure, and gross rupture. GDC 14 applies to this SRP section because the reviewer evaluates seismic and dynamic testing of RCPB components to determine their capability to withstand applicable design-basis seismic and dynamic loads in combination with loads caused by other environmental and natural phenomena without leakage, rapidly propagating failure, or rupture. ANSI/IEEE Std 344-1987, as endorsed in RG 1.100, Revision 2, provides guidance acceptable to the staff for establishing acceptable seismic and dynamic test (or evaluation) criteria for RCPB components. Meeting the requirements of GDC 14 provides assurance that seismic and dynamic qualification of RCPB components will be performed in accordance with criteria and standards (or their equivalent) cited in this SRP section, thereby ensuring that the RCPB will have an extremely low probability of leakage or failure. 5. Compliance with GDC 30 requires that components that are part of the RCPB be tested to the highest quality standards practical. GDC 30 applies to this SRP section because the reviewer verifies the adequacy of dynamic test and evaluation programs for RCPB components. ANSI/IEEE Std 344-1987, as endorsed by RG 1.100, Revision 2, provides guidance acceptable to the staff for establishing acceptable seismic and dynamic test (or evaluation) qualification criteria for these components. SRP Section 3.10 provides additional guidance for identifying individual components of the RCPB and demonstrating (through testing and analysis) that a given component will not leak as a result of
