ructures, systems, and components (SSCs) important to safety be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be performed. • GDC 4, “Environmental and dynamic effects design bases,” requires in part that Structures, systems, and components important to safety shall be designed to accommodate the effects of and to be compatible with the environmental conditions associated with normal operation, maintenance, testing, and postulated accidents, including loss-of-coolant accidents. • GDC 17, “Electric Power Systems,” requires, in part, that an onsite electric power system and an offsite electric power system be provided to permit functioning of SSCs important to safety. • GDC 18, “Inspection and Testing of Electric Power Systems,” requires that electric power systems important to safety be designed to permit appropriate periodic inspection and testing of important areas and features, such as wiring, insulation, connections, and switchboards, to assess the continuity of the systems and the conditions of their components. Nuclear power plants and fuel reprocessing plants include structures, systems, and components that prevent or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents that could cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public. Appendix B, “Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants,” to 10 CFR Part 50 establishes quality assurance requirements for the design, manufacture, construction, and operation of those structures, systems, and components. The following quality assurance criteria are related to vented lead-acid storage batteries: • Appendix B, “Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants,” to 10 CFR Part 50, Criterion XI, “Test Control,” sets forth the following requirements. o A test program shall be established to ensure that all testing is required to demonstrate
