alification of active mechanical equipment in nuclear power plants. The NRC staff has accepted the use of ASME QME-1-2007 in Revision 3 to RG 1.100 with specific conditions. C. Acceptance criteria for the design of dynamic restraints are provided in SRP Section 3.9.3. D. Acceptance criteria for the design and installation of safety and relief valves are provided in SRP Section 3.9.3. E. Acceptance criteria for the seismic and dynamic qualification of mechanical and electrical equipment are provided in SRP Section 3.10. F. As required by GDC 14, safety-related valves that are part of the RCPB are acceptable where designed and tested such that these valves will not experience any abnormal leakage, or increase in leakage, from their loading, as addressed in SRP Section 3.10. 3.9.6-15 Revision 4 – March 2017 G. As required by GDC 15, pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints associated with the reactor coolant system and associated auxiliary, control, and protection systems are acceptable where designed with sufficient margin to demonstrate that the design conditions are not exceeded. H. For plants with passive emergency cooling systems, the COL applicant is expected to address the functional design and qualification of RTNSS pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints consistent with the Commission policy in SECY- 95-132. The public NRC memorandum dated July 24, 1995, provides a consolidated list of the approved policy and technical positions associated with RTNSS equipment in passive plant designs discussed in the applicable Commission papers, and their associated SRMs. For example, the designer should establish graded requirements for SSCs based on the importance to safety of their functional reliability and availability missions. The application of ASME QME-1-2007 as accepted in Revision 3 to RG 1.100 is one acceptable method for demonstrating the functional design and qualification of RTNSS pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints. An applicant may justify other methods to
