RG 1.210, Revision 0, related to the qualification methods for seismic testing was clarified in Section 5.3.1.8, “Seismic Test,” of IEEE Std. 650-2017. Consideration of International Standards The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) works with member states and other partners to promote the safe, secure, and peaceful use of nuclear technologies. The IAEA develops Safety Requirements and Safety Guides for protecting people and the environment from harmful effects of ionizing radiation. This system of safety fundamentals, safety requirements, safety guides, and other relevant reports, reflects an international perspective on what constitutes a high level of safety. To inform its development of this RG, the NRC considered IAEA Safety Requirements and Safety Guides pursuant to the Commission’s International Policy Statement (Ref. 22) and Management Directive and Handbook 6.6, “Regulatory Guides” (Ref. 23). The NRC staff did not identify any IAEA Safety Requirements or Guides with information related to the topic of this RG. This RG is endorsing IEEE Std. 650-2017, which provides qualification methods based on the joint IEC/IEEE Std. 60780-323, Edition 1.0, 2016-02. This joint standard was created based on a collaborative international effort to harmonize standard qualification practices developed from DG-1412 Page 7 IEC 60780:1998, “Nuclear Power Plants—Electrical Equipment of the Safety System—Qualification” (Ref. 24), and IEEE Std. 323-2003. Documents Discussed in Staff Regulatory Guidance This RG endorses the use of one or more codes or standards developed by external organizations, and other third-party guidance documents. These codes, standards and third-party guidance documents may contain references to other codes, standards, or third-party guidance documents (“secondary references”). If a secondary reference has itself been incorporated by reference into NRC regulations as a requirement, then licensees and applicants must comply with
