Content:
ts. SRP Section 3.10 provides additional guidance for identifying individual components of the RCPB and demonstrating (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. 3.10-13 Revision 3 - March 2007 6. Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B requires that applicants establish and maintain an acceptable quality assurance program, including design, testing, and records control. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B applies to this SRP section because the reviewer evaluates design, testing, and records for the qualification of equipment, and associated supports, designated as important to safety. Subsection II.1 of this SRP section describes testing and analysis related to seismic and dynamic qualification of equipment. Subsection II.3 of this SRP section describes recordkeeping requirements for seismic and dynamic qualification of equipment. ANSI/IEEE Std 344-1987, as endorsed by RG 1.100, Revision 2, provides additional guidance for the design, testing, and documentation of the seismic and dynamic qualification of equipment important to safety. Meeting the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B provides assurance that designs, tests, and documentation related to qualification of equipment important to safety will comply with established standards and criteria, thereby ensuring that such equipment will be capable of performing its intended safety
