RG 1.213, Rev. 0, dated May 2009 endorses Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Std. 649-2006 “Qualification of Safety-Related Motor Control Centers for Nuclear Power Plants,” as part of a method for complying with the regulations for qualification of safety-related motor control centers for nuclear power plants. Specifically, applicable regulations are 10 CFR 50.49, GDCs 1, 2, 4, and 23, and Criterion III (Design Control) of 10 CFR Part 50-Appendix B.
