SRP section because the reviewer evaluates dynamic testing and analysis of electrical and mechanical equipment, and associated supports, to ensure that such equipment will withstand dynamic loads as a result of, or in combination with, other environmental loads, which may include or result from seismic loads. Meeting the requirements of GDC 4 provides assurance that the dynamic qualification of electrical and mechanical equipment important to safety will be performed in accordance with criteria and standards (or their equivalent) cited in this SRP section, thereby ensuring that such equipment can withstand the dynamic load effects of environmental conditions associated with normal and accident conditions, including seismic events. 4. Compliance with GDC 14 requires that the RCPB be tested to demonstrate an extremely low probability of abnormal leakage, rapidly propagating failure, and gross rupture. GDC 14 applies to this SRP section because the reviewer evaluates seismic and dynamic testing of RCPB components to determine their capability to withstand applicable design-basis seismic and dynamic loads in combination with loads caused by other environmental and natural phenomena without leakage, rapidly propagating failure, or rupture. IEEE Std. 344-2004, as endorsed in RG 1.100, Revision 3, provides guidance acceptable to the staff for establishing acceptable seismic and dynamic test (or evaluation) criteria for RCPB components. Meeting the requirements of GDC 14 provides assurance that seismic and dynamic qualification of RCPB components will be performed in accordance with criteria and standards (or their equivalent) cited in this SRP section, thereby ensuring that the RCPB will have an extremely low probability of leakage or failure. 5. Compliance with GDC 30 requires that components that are part of the RCPB be tested to the highest quality standards practical. GDC 30 applies to this SRP section because the reviewer verifies the adequacy of dynamic test and
