PROGRAMS FOR PUMPS, VALVES, AND DYNAMIC RESTRAINTS REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Organization responsible for the review of component performance and testing Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW This standard review plan (SRP) section addresses the areas of the applicant’s safety analysis report (SAR) that cover the functional design and qualification provisions and inservice testing (IST) programs for certain safety-related pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints (snubbers) designated as Class 1, 2, or 3 under Section III of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code (Code). The review should include any other pumps and valves and dynamic restraints not categorized as ASME Code Class 1, 2, or 3 that are safety related. Conformance with the specific guidance in Subsection II of this SRP section will provide reasonable assurance that the functional design and qualification of pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints within the scope of this SRP section and their associated IST programs satisfy the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a, particularly the IST program requirements of the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (OM Code); General Design Criteria (GDC) 1, 2, 4, 14, 15, 37, 40, 43, 46, and 54 in Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50; Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50; 10 CFR 52.47(b)(1) and 10 CFR 52.80(a). 3.9.6-2 Revision 3 - March 2007 Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code currently specifies requirements for IST programs to be applied to dynamic restraints. However, 10 CFR 50.55a allows applicants to apply Subsection ISTD of the ASME OM Code in lieu of the ASME Code, Section XI, requirements. As discussed in this SRP section, the IST program can involve inservice testing, examination, inspection, and condition monitoring depending on the specific components and regulatory or code provisions and guidance implemented by the applicant or licensee. The specific areas of review are as
