Content:
50, “Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,” requires that SSCs important to safety shall be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be performed. Where generally recognized codes and standards are used, they shall be identified and evaluated to determine their applicability, adequacy, and sufficiency and shall be supplemented or modified as necessary to assure a quality product in keeping with the required safety function. A quality assurance program shall be established and implemented in order to provide adequate assurance that these SSCs will perform their safety functions. Appropriate records of the design, fabrication, erection, and testing of SSCs important to safety shall be maintained by or under the control of the nuclear power unit licensee throughout the life of the unit. 2. GDC 4, “Environmental and Dynamic Effects Design Bases,” requires in part, that SSCs important to safety shall be designed to accommodate the effects of, and to be compatible with, the environmental conditions associated with normal operation, maintenance, testing, and postulated accidents. 3. GDC 14, “Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary,” requires that the RCPB shall be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested so as to have an extremely low probability of abnormal leakage, of rapidly propagating failure, and of gross rupture. 4. GDC 15, “Reactor Coolant System Design,” requires that the reactor coolant system and associated auxiliary, control, and protection systems shall be designed with sufficient margin to assure that the design conditions of the RCPB are not exceeded during any condition of normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. 5. GDC 30, “Quality of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary,” requires, in part, that components which are part of the RCPB shall be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to the highest quality standards
