pplicable NRC requirements. DG-1415, Page 7 C. STAFF REGULATORY GUIDANCE In 10 CFR Part 21, the NRC states, in part, “In all cases, the dedication process must be conducted in accordance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B.” In support of this requirement, Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 provides evaluation and acceptance requirements that are applicable to the dedication of commercial-grade items and services for use in nuclear power plants. The guidance below endorses, with the listed exceptions or clarifications, EPRI 3002002982, Revision 1 to EPRI NP-5652 and TR-102260. EPRI 3002002982, Revision 1 to EPRI NP-5652 and TR-102260, addresses the acceptance of commercial-grade dedication of items and services for use in nuclear power plants. EPRI 3002002982 is acceptable to the NRC staff in providing an adequate basis for dedication as defined in 10 CFR Part 21 and fulfills the QA requirement in Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, subject to the following exceptions or clarifications: 1. Section I.3 of Appendix I to EPRI 3002002982, Revision 1 to EPRI NP-5652 and TR-102260, refers to two EPRI guidance documents, NP-7484, “Seismic Technical Evaluation of Replacement Items for Nuclear Power Plants,” (Ref. 16), and TR-105849, “Plant Support Engineering: Generic Seismic Technical Evaluations of Replacement Items for Nuclear Power Plants—Item-Specific Evaluations,” Revision 1, issued September 2008 (Ref. 17). The NRC has not reviewed or approved NP-7484 or TR-105849 as an acceptable approach for meeting an NRC requirement. The NRC provides its guidance on qualification in RG 1.100, “Seismic Qualification of Electrical and Active Mechanical Equipment and Functional Qualification of Active Mechanical Equipment for Nuclear Power Plants,” (Ref. 18). EPRI-3002002982, section 6.6, Appendix B, “Technical Evaluation Process Overview,” and Appendix I contain guidance on documenting an adequate technical justification. 2.
