t important to safety will be performed in accordance with criteria and standards (or the equivalent thereto) cited in this SRP section, thereby ensuring that such equipment is capable of withstanding the seismic and dynamic load effects of natural phenomena in combination with normal and accident conditions.59 3. Compliance with GDC 4 requires that components important to safety be designed to accommodate the effects of, and be compatible with, the environmental conditions associated with normal operation, maintenance, testing, and postulated accidents, including LOCAs and dynamic effects (e.g., pipe whip, missiles, and discharging fluids). GDC 4 applies to this SRP section because the reviewer evaluates seismic and dynamic testing and analysis of electrical and mechanical equipment, plus associated supports, to DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 3.10-14 ensure that such equipment will withstand seismic and dynamic loads as a result of, or in combination with, other environmental loads. Meeting the requirements of GDC 4 provides assurance that the seismic and dynamic qualification of electrical and mechanical equipment important to safety will be performed in accordance with criteria and standards (or the equivalent thereto) cited in this SRP section, thereby ensuring that such equipment is capable of withstanding the seismic and dynamic load effects of natural phenomena in combination with normal and accident conditions.60 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.
