ns and dynamic effects associated with normal operation, maintenance, testing, and postulated accidents. • 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, “Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants,” provides quality assurance (QA) requirements that apply to all activities (e.g., designing, fabricating, erecting, inspecting, testing, modifying) affecting the safety-related functions of SSCs. • 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix S, “Earthquake Engineering Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants,” provides, in part, criteria for the implementation of GDC 2 with respect to earthquakes. Related Guidance • RG 1.28, “Quality Assurance Program Criteria (Design and Construction)” (Ref. 3), describes acceptable methods for establishing and implementing quality assurance (QA) programs to comply with the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 during the design and construction phases of nuclear power plants and fuel reprocessing plants. • RG 1.29, “Seismic Design Classification for Nuclear Power Plants” (Ref. 4), provides guidance for identifying and classifying features of light-water-reactor (LWR) nuclear power plants that must be designed to withstand the effects of a safe shutdown earthquake (SSE). • RG 1.69, “Concrete Radiation Shields and Generic Shield Testing for Nuclear Power Plants” (Ref. 5), provides guidance for the design, construction, and testing of concrete radiation shields in nuclear power plants. • RG 1.136, “Design Limits, Loading Combinations, Materials, Construction, and Testing of Concrete Containments” (Ref. 6), provides guidance on containment design, construction and testing. • RG 1.199, “Anchoring Components and Structural Supports in Concrete” (Ref. 7), provides guidance for the design, testing, evaluation, and QA, including installation and inspection of anchors (steel embedment) used for anchoring component and structural supports on concrete structures. • RG 1.217, “Guidance for Assessment of
