Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the review of applications to construct and operate nuclear power plants. These documents are made available to the public as part of the Commission's policy to inform the nuclear Industry and the general public of regulatory procedures and policies. Standard review plans are not substitutes for regulatory guides or the Commission's regulations and compliance with them Is not required. The standard review plan sections are keyed to the Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants. Not all sections of the Standard Format have a corresponding review plan. Published standard review plans will be revised periodically, as appropriate, to accommodate comments and to reflect new Informa- tion and experience. Comments and suggestions for Improvement will be considered and should be sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. Washington, D.C. 20S At the operating license (OL) stage, the staff review covers the following specific areas: 1. The implementation of criteria for defining pipe break and crack locations and configurations. 2. The implementation of criteria dealing with special features, such as augmented inservice inspection programs or the use of special protective devices such as pipe whip restraints, including diagrams showing final configurations, locations, and orientations in relation to break locations in each piping system. 3. The acceptability of the analysis results, including the jet thrust and impingement forcing functions and pipe whip dynamic effects. 4. The design adequacy of systems, components, and component supports to assure that the intended design functions will not be impaired to an unacceptable level of integrity or operability as a result of pipe whip or jet impingement loadings. In addition, the MEB will coordinate other branches' evaluations that interface with the overall review of the plant protection against
