seismic and dynamic loads in combination with loads caused by other environmental and natural phenomena without leakage, rapidly propagating failure, or rupture. ANSI/IEEE Std 344-1987, as endorsed in Regulatory Guide 1.100, 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 providing assurance that the RCPB will have an extremely low probability of leakage or failure.61 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 evaluation programs for RCPB components. ANSI/IEEE Std 344-1987, as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.100, provides guidance acceptable to the staff for establishing acceptable seismic and dynamic test (or evaluation) qualification criteria for these components. Additional guidance is provided in SRP Section 3.10 for identifying individual components of the RCPB and demonstrating (i.e., through testing and analysis) that a given component will not leak as a result of any combination of loadings for which it must be qualified. These staff positions include extensive and specific provisions for tests and associated analyses to consider all appropriate seismic and dynamic loads in combination with normal and accident loads. Meeting the requirements of GDC 30 provides assurance that seismic and dynamic qualification of components that are part of the RCPB will be performed in accordance with criteria and standards (or their equivalent) cited in this SRP section, thereby ensuring that RCPB components will be tested to the highest quality standards practical.62 3.10-15
