requirements for the installation design and installation of vented lead-acid storage batteries in production and utilization facilities. It endorses, with clarifications, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard (Std.) 484-2019, “IEEE Recommended Practice for Installation Design and Installation of Vented Lead-Acid Batteries for Stationary Applications” (Ref. 1). Applicability This RG applies to licensees and applicants subject to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, “Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities” (Ref. 2), and 10 CFR Part 52, “Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants” (Ref. 3). Under 10 CFR Part 50, this RG applies to licensees of, or applicants for, production and utilization facilities. Under 10 CFR Part 52, this RG applies to applicants and holders of combined licenses, standard design certifications, standard design approvals, and manufacturing licenses. Applicable Regulations • 10 CFR Part 50 provides regulations for licensing production and utilization facilities. o 10 CFR 50.55a, “Codes and standards,” requires, in part, that structures, systems, and components (SSCs) be designed, fabricated, erected, constructed, tested, and inspected to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed. o 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, “General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants,” General Design Criterion (GDC) 1, “Quality standards and records,” requires, in part, that SSCs DG-1421, Page 2 important to safety be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be performed. o GDC 17, “Electric power systems,” requires, in part, that an onsite electric power system and an offsite electric power system be provided to permit functioning of SSCs important to safety. o GDC 18, “Inspection and testing of electric power
