perability 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 postulated pipe rupture as follows: The Auxiliary Systems Branch (ASB) reviews plant arrangements where separa- tion of high and moderate energy systems is the method of protection for essential systems and components outside containment in SRP Section 3.6.1. The ASB identifies high- and moderate-energy systems outside containment and the essential systems and components that must be protected from postu- lated pipe rupture in these high and moderate energy systems. The Struc- tural Engineering Branch (SEB) reviews loading combinations and other design aspects of protective structures of compartments used to protect essential systems and components in SRP Sections 3.8.3 and 3.8.4. The Material Engineering Branch (MTEB) reviews inservice inspection and related design provisions of high- and moderate-energy systems in SRP Sections 5.2.4 and 6.6, including those associated with the break exclusion regions. The Reactor Systems Branch (RSB) -identifies high- and moderate-energy systems inside containment and the essential systems and components that must be protected from postulated pipe rupture in these high- and moderate-energy systems, such as the emergency core cooling system in SRP Section 6.3. The Equipment Qualification Branch (EQB) reviews the environmental effects of pipe rupture, such as temperature, humidity, and spray-wetting, with respect to the functional performance-of essential electrical equipment and instrumentation in SRP Section 3.11. The-Containment Systems Branch (CSB) will verify that piping systems penetrating the containment barrier are designed with acceptable isolation features to maintain containment integrity as part of its primary review responsibility for SRP Section 6.2.4. For those areas of review identified above as being reviewed as part
