G-2012, Part 3 and Part 7. The staff reviews the treatment of dynamic responses of safety-related piping systems by the following procedures: During the construction permit (CP) stage, the preliminary safety analysis report (PSAR) is reviewed for whether the applicant has specified a provision to conduct a piping steady-state vibration, thermal expansion, and operational transient test program. The applicant’s program description should be sufficiently comprehensive to contain the elements of an acceptable program as described in subsection II.1 (Acceptance Criteria) of this SRP section. During the operating license (OL) stage, the final safety analysis report (FSAR) is reviewed to ensure that the applicant's PSAR provision is fulfilled and the program is developed in sufficient detail. In this and other review procedures, the level of information reviewed for DC and COL applications submitted under 10 CFR Part 52, “Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants,” should be consistent with that of an FSAR submitted in an OL application, except where as-built information is needed. Verification that the as-built facility conforms to the approved design is performed through the ITAAC process. The reviewer should verify that the applicant’s program as described in Sections 3.9.2 and 14.0 of the FSAR is sufficiently developed to: A. Establish the rationale and bases for the acceptance criteria and selection of locations for monitoring pipe motions. B. Provide the displacement or other appropriate limits at locations monitored. C. Describe the techniques and instruments (as applicable) for monitoring or measuring pipe motions. D. Ensure that corrective actions based on the test results and the effectiveness of the corrective actions will be documented. 2. For seismic system analysis review, the following review procedures are implemented: 3.9.2-33 Revision 4 – March 2017 A. Seismic Analysis Methods. For all seismic Category I systems,
