. DG-1328, Page 3 o SRP Section 3.9.6, “Functional Design, Qualification, and Inservice Testing Programs for Pumps, Valves, and Dynamic Restraints,” provides guidance to the NRC staff in reviewing functional qualification for pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints. o SRP Section 3.10, “Seismic and Dynamic Qualification of Mechanical and Electrical Equipment,” provides guidance to the NRC staff in reviewing equipment qualification to withstand seismic and dynamic loads. o SRP Section 19.0, “Probabilistic Risk Assessment and Severe Accident Evaluation for New Reactors,” provides guidance to the NRC staff in reviewing probabilistic risk assessment and severe accidents for new reactor licensing applications. • RG 1.29, “Seismic Design Classification” (Ref. 4), describes a method that the NRC staff considers acceptable for use in identifying and classifying those features of light-water reactor NPPs that must be designed to withstand the effects of the SSE. Purpose of Regulatory Guides The NRC issues RGs to describe to the public methods that the staff considers acceptable for use in implementing specific parts of the agency’s regulations, to explain techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated events, and to provide guidance to applicants. Regulatory guides are not substitutes for regulations and compliance with them is not required. Methods and solutions that differ from those set forth in RGs will be deemed acceptable if they provide a basis for the findings required for the issuance or continuance of a permit or license by the Commission. Paperwork Reduction Act This RG provides guidance for implementing the mandatory information collections in 10 CFR Parts 50 and 52 that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et. seq.). These information collections were approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), under control numbers 3150-0011 and 3150-0151. Send comments regarding this
