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. The NRC provides additional guidance regarding the review procedures for IST programs for pumps and valves in NUREG-1482, Revision 1. As of November 2005, 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(3) endorses the 2001 Edition through the 2003 Addenda of OM Code. The 2001 Edition through the 2003 Addenda of the OM Code is currently appropriate for the new plant reviews covered by the SRP. 1. Functional Design and Qualification of Pumps, Valves, and Dynamic Restraints A. The staff will review the functional design of pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints as described in Subsection II.1. B. GL-96-05 provides additional guidance on the periodic verification of the design- basis capability of safety-related MOVs. C. Regulatory Issue Summary 2000-03 provides guidance on qualification provisions for POVs other than MOVs. 3.9.6-21 Revision 3 - March 2007 D. As discussed in the review procedures in SRP Section 3.10, the staff evaluates the program for the design and qualification of plant components during the construction permit or DC stage for the test and analysis to be applied, and again at the operating license stage to confirm the extent to which the equipment meets the SRP provisions. For a COL, this review is performed only once (i.e., at the DC or COL stage). As part of the operating license or COL review, the staff will conduct an audit of the applicant’s design files. For example, the staff will review a sampling of functional design specifications for completeness. The reviewer may use the information contained in the following documents in addition to the acceptance criteria cited in this SRP section as part of the evaluation: i. RG 1.148 ii. American
