This conclusion is based on the followipg: The applicant has implemented an environmental qualification program that provides adequate assurance that mechanical and electrical equipment will function as intended in the normal, abnormal, and post-accident environmental condi- tions. The applicant's program for equipment has met the guidelines of task action plan, Item II.B;2 of NUREGs-0718. and 0737, IEEE-323 as supplemented by Regulatory Guide 1.89, IEEE-334 as supplemented by Regulatory Guide 1.40, IEEE-382 as supplemented by Regulatory Guide 1.73, IEEE-383 as supple- mented by Regulatory Guide 1.63 and NUREG-0588. 3.11-6 Rev. 2 - July 1981 V.
