review responsibility for SRP Section 16.0. Quality Assurance Branch (QAB) will coordinate the review of the Geotechnical Engineering aspects of the QA program pertaining to safety-related structures, systems, and components in conjunction with its primary review responsibility for SRP Section 17.1. For those areas of review identified above as being reviewed as part of the primary review responsibility of other branches, the acceptance criteria necessary for the review and their methods of application are contained in the referenced SRP section of the corresponding primary branch. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The applicable rules and basic acceptance criteria pertinent to the areas of this section of the Standard Review Plan are: 1. 10 CFR Part 50, §50.55a, "Codes and Standards." This rule requires that structures, systems, and components shall be designed, fabricated, erected, constructed, tested, and inspected in accordance with the requirement of applicable codes and standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed. (Ref. 1) 2. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A: (a) General Design Criterion 1 - "Quality Standards and Records." This criterion requires that structures, systems, and components important to safety shall be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be performed. It also requires that appropriate records of the design, fabrication, erection, and testing of structures, systems, and components important to safety shall be maintained by or under the control of the nuclear power unit licensee throughout the life of the unit. (Ref. 2) (b) General.Design Criterion 2 - "Design Bases for Protection Against Natural Phenomena." This criterion requires that safety-related portions of the system shall be designed to withstand the effects of earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, tsunami, and seiches without loss of capability to perform their safety
