REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Mechanical Engineering Branch (EMEB ) 1 Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The EMEB reviews the following areas of the applicant's safety analysis report (SAR) that 2 cover the inservice testing of certain safety-related pumps and valves typically designated as 3 4 Class 1, 2, or 3 under Section III of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (hereinafter "the Code"). Other pumps and valves not categorized as Code Class 1, 2, or 3 may be included if they are considered to be safety related by the staff. Compliance with the Code and the specific criteria guidance in subsection II of this Standard Review Plan (SRP) section will assureensure conformance with 10 CFR Part 50, 5 6 Appendix A, General Design Criteria 1, 37, 40, 43, 46, 54, and 10 CFR Part 50, 7 50.55a(g);50.55a(f). 8 In NUREG-1482, "Guidelines for Inservice Testing at Nuclear Power Plants," the staff provided additional guidance regarding the development and implementation of inservice testing programs for pumps and valves.9 1. Inservice Testing of Pumps a. The descriptive information in the SAR covering the inservice test program is reviewed for those ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 system pumps whose function 10 As of August 1995, 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2) cites addenda through the 1988 Addenda of 1 ASME Code Section XI and editions of ASME Code Section XI through the 1989 Edition. The 1989 Edition of the ASME Code is currently appropriate for the new-plant reviews covered by the SRP. The 1989 Edition of ASME Code Section XI refers to ASME/ANSI OM (Part 6) for pump testing requirements and ASME/ANSI OM (Part 10) for valve testing requirements. Paragraph 4.3.1 of Part 10 refers, in turn, to ASME/ANSI OM (Part 1) for inservice testing of safety valves and relief valves. These ASME Code sections will be referred to as "OM 6," "OM 10," and "OM 1," respectively, in this SRP section. See Reference 8. DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 3.9.6-2 is
