Content:
estraints for plant piping and components do not provide a load path or force transmission during normal plant operations, but function as rigid supports when subjected to dynamic transient loads. SRP Section 3.9.3 provides 5 Some nonsafety-related pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints that have functions important to safety, such as fire protection and response to station blackout and anticipated transient without scram, are reviewed under other SRP sections. 3.9.6-5 Revision 4 – March 2017 guidance for staff assessment of the design and qualification of dynamic restraints. E. The staff will conduct an audit of the information normally contained in design and procurement specifications for pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints for DC and COL applications. F. The technical staff in the NRC Office of New Reactors (NRO) will provide direct or indirect assistance to vendor or region inspection activities to evaluate the implementation of the functional design and qualification programs for pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints, as necessary. This is particularly important for first of a kind (FOAK) equipment to be used in nuclear power plants (such as new squib valve designs). 2. Inservice Testing Program A. In its review of an OL application under 10 CFR Part 50, the staff will review the IST program described in the applicant’s FSAR to verify that it complies with the applicable edition and addenda of the ASME OM Code incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a prior to issuance of the OL license.6 B. In its review of a COL application under 10 CFR Part 52, the staff will review the full description of the IST program for pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints provided by the applicant through reference to the DC application and the supplemental information specified in the applicant’s FSAR. Commission Paper SECY-05-0197 summarizes the NRC position regarding the full description of operational programs to be provided by COL applicants. Section C.IV.4 of
