OM Code for dynamic restraints. Because ASME has transferred the preservice and inservice examination and testing provisions for dynamic restraints from the ASME BPV Code to the ASME OM Code, the NRC regulations require applicants to satisfy the provisions in the ASME OM Code for dynamic restraints. The level of detail of the information describing the functional design and qualification, and IST programs for pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints to be provided by an applicant will depend on whether the application is for an operating license (OL) submitted under the provisions of 10 CFR Part 50, or a design certification (DC) or a combined license (COL) submitted under the provisions of 10 CFR Part 52, “Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants.” In implementing the specific provisions of this SRP section, the NRC technical reviewer will distinguish between a program review for an OL application and a program description review for a COL application. The OL applicant under 10 CFR Part 50 must establish its functional design, qualification, and IST programs for pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints to support OL issuance. The COL applicant is required under 10 CFR 52.79(a)(11) to provide in its FSAR a description of the program(s), and their implementation, necessary to ensure that the systems and components meet the requirements of the ASME BPV Code and the ASME OM Code in 3 In a rulemaking issued for public comment on September 18, 2015 (80 Federal Register 56820), the NRC staff proposed the alignment of the scope of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(4) and the ASME OM Code for pumps and valves in the IST program. The NRC technical reviewer should consider the latest issued version of 10 CFR 50.55a when implementing this SRP section. 4 ASME reformatted the OM Code in the 2009 Edition with the title of “Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants,” where Division 1 contains the OM Code, Division 2 contains OM Standards; and Division 3 contains
