ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Requirements Acceptance criteria are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following Commission regulations: 1. GDC 1, “Quality Standards and Records,” and GDC 30, “Quality of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary,” as they relate to qualifying equipment to appropriate quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be performed. 2. GDC 2, “Design Bases for Protection against Natural Phenomena,” and Appendix S to 10 CFR Part 50, as they relate to designing equipment to withstand the effects of natural phenomena such as earthquakes. 3. GDC 4, “Environmental and Dynamic Effects Design Bases,” as it relates to qualifying equipment as capable of withstanding the environmental conditions associated with normal operation, maintenance, testing, and postulated accidents, including loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCA), as well as dynamic effects, including the effects of missiles, pipe whipping, and jet impingement forces, that may result from equipment failures and from events and conditions outside the plant. 3.10-5 Draft Revision 4 – August 2015 4. GDC 14, “Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary,” as it relates to qualifying equipment associated with the reactor coolant boundary so that there is an extremely low probability of abnormal leakage, of rapidly propagating failure, and of gross rupture. 5. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, “Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Nuclear Reprocessing Facilities,” as it relates to qualifying equipment using the quality assurance criteria provided. 6. 10 CFR Part 50.49, “Environmental Qualification of Electric Equipment Important to Safety for Nuclear Power Plants,” as it relates to the environmental qualifications required for the electric equipment. 7. 10 CFR 50.55a, “Codes and Standards,” as it defines requirements for application of codes and standards for component construction. 8. 10 CFR part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III,
