ctives. E. The staff reviews the test procedures against the criteria in subsections II.1 or II.2 of this SRP section. In evaluating an applicant’s program for pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints, the reviewer also uses, for guidance purposes, the information contained in the following documents, although the NRC has not endorsed these documents: i. ANSI B.16.41 ii. ANSI N 41.6 iii. ANSI/ASME N551.2 iv. ANSI N45 N551.4 v. QME-1-2007 In addition to the above documents, the reviewer will use References 22 and 23 to evaluate the functionality assurance programs for purge and vent valves and deep draft pumps. F. The staff will review the analytical procedures used alone or in conjunction with testing to demonstrate functionality by comparing the information submitted in the applicant’s program with the acceptance criteria delineated in subsections II.1 or II.2 of this SRP section. For pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints, the references cited in subsection III.2.E of this SRP section provide additional criteria for demonstrating functionality by analysis, and the reviewer will use them to supplement the staff’s review procedures. 3. Reviews of COL applications should include audits of the equipment qualification file. The staff should review the results of tests and analyses to accomplish the following: A. Ensure that the criteria in the certified design were properly implemented. B. Ensure that adequate qualification was demonstrated for all equipment and supports. C. Verify that the testing and analyses performed, or experience database used, properly defined and accounted for all applicable loads. 3.10-16 Revision 3 - March 2007 In the advanced BWR (ABWR) and System 80+ DC FSERs, the staff accepted an exemption from the requirement in Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 100 that all safety-related SSCs be designed to remain functional and within applicable stress and deformation limits when subjected to an OBE. This exemption was based on the licensees’ alternative
