. heat tracing for freeze protection 19. emergency lighting for safe egress, post accident vital areas, and emergency facilities 20. cathodic protection system for corrosion control of underground and submerged metallic surfaces (i.e., buried carbon steel pipes and tanks) 21. flood protection systems. 22. systems for protecting the foundation of structures from ground water (e.g., ground water level control and ground water chemistry) 23. non-safety related redundant power suppliers or alternate power connections (e.g., cable/plugs that allow temporary interconnection of power systems). 24. Appendix R to 10 CFR Part 50 for alternate power supplies to equipment, etc. 25. leakage detection from the spent fuel pool, transfer canal, refueling cavity, etc. 26. regulatory treatment of nonsafety system components (RTNSS) equipment (e.g., power systems, charging pumps and valves, etc.) Communication system tests should include demonstrations of the proper operation of evacuation and other alarms, the public address system within the plant, systems that may be used if the plant is required to be shut down from outside the control room, and communication systems required by the facility’s emergency plan. This testing may include a check for frequency interferences from emergency communication devices used at multi-unit sites or other communication devices. Control room habitability system testing should include, as appropriate, demonstrations of the proper operation of smoke and toxic chemical detection systems and ventilation shutdown devices, including leak-tightness of ducts and flow rates, proper direction of airflows, and proper control of space temperatures. A-1.p. Reactor Component Handling Systems Include the following activities: Appendix A to DG-1259, Page A-20 1. conduct dynamic and static load tests (see footnote 14) of cranes, hoists, and associated lifting and rigging equipment (e.g., slings and strong backs used during refueling or the preparation for
