are as follows: A. General Design Criterion 1, as it relates to the testing and analysis of systems, components, and equipment with appropriate safety functions being performed to appropriate quality standards. B. General Design Criterion 2, as it relates to systems, components, and equipment important to safety being designed to withstand appropriate combinations of the effects of normal and accident conditions with the effects of natural phenomena (SSE). 3.9.2-4 Rev. 2 - July 1981 C. General Design Criterion 4, as it relates to systems and components important to safety being appropriately protected against the dynamic effects of discharging fluids. D. General Design Criterion 14, as it relates to systems and components of the reactor coolant pressure boundary being designed so as to have an extremely low probability of rapidly propagating failure or of gross rupture. E. General Design Criterion 15, as it relates to the reactor coolant system being designed with sufficient margin to assure that the reactor coolant pressure boundary will not be breeched during normal operating conditions including anticipated operational occurrences. Specific criteria necessary to meet the relevant requirements of the Commission regulations identified above are as follows: 1. Relevant requirements of GDC 14 and 15 are met if vibration, thermal expansion, and dynamic effects testing are conducted during startup func- tional testing for specified high-and moderate-energy piping, and their supports and restraints. The purpose of these tests is to confirm that the piping, components, restraints, and supports have been designed to withstand the dynamic loadings and operational transient conditions that will be encountered during service as required by the Code and to confirm that no unacceptable restraint of normal thermal motion occurs. An acceptable test program to confirm the adequacy of the designs should consist of the following: a. A list of systems that will be monitored. b. A
