Content:
mplying with the quality assurance requirements in regard to protective coatings applied to ferritic steels, aluminum, stainless steel, zinc-coated (galvanized) steel, concrete, or masonry surfaces of nuclear facilities. Compliance with Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 is important to ensure the overall quality and safety performance of protective coatings under normal and accident conditions. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. At the construction permit review stage, the reviewer verifies that the applicant has committed to using protective coating systems which meet the acceptance criteria. At the operating license review stage, the reviewer determines the types and quantities of radiation and chemical decomposition products that can be produced from all the paints and organic materials which are exposed to the containment atmosphere. The paints and organic materials to be considered include those paints that are specified in the Safety Analysis Report (SAR), unspecified protective coatings on small machinery and equipment, and organic materials such as cable insulation. The determination is based on documented test data provided by the applicant. If test data are unavailable, a conservative analysis is required. The environmental conditions for the test and analysis must be comparable to those specified in Section 3.11 of the SAR. In the absence of test data on specific coating systems and organic materials, the data in Reference 5 may be used to estimate the rates of hydrogen formation from zinc primers and from zinc primers plus topcoats.
