EQUIPMENT REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Organization responsible for mechanical engineering reviews Secondary- Organization responsible for reviews of electrical engineering and instrumentation and controls I. AREAS OF REVIEW The applicant’s safety analysis report (SAR) should contain information concerning the methods of tests and analyses employed to ensure the functionality of mechanical and electrical equipment (includes instrumentation and controls) under the full range of normal and accident loadings (including seismic). The SAR is reviewed to ensure conformance with the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, “Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,” Appendix A, General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants,” General Design Criteria (GDC) 1, 2, 4, 14, and 30; 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, “Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants”; and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix S, “Earthquake Engineering Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants.” Mechanical and electrical equipment must be designed to withstand the effects of earthquakes (i.e., seismic Category I requirements and other accident-related loadings). 3.10-2 Revision 4 – December 2016 Mechanical and electrical equipment (including instrumentation and control (I&C) components) covered by this Standard Review Plan (SRP) section includes equipment associated with systems that are essential to emergency reactor shutdown, containment isolation, reactor core cooling, and containment and reactor heat removal functions or are otherwise essential in preventing significant release of radioactive material to the environment. Also covered by this SRP section is equipment (1) that performs the above functions automatically, (2) that is used by the operators to perform these above functions manually, and (3) whose failure can prevent the satisfactory accomplishment of one or more of the above safety functions.
