e GDC were formally adopted was evaluated on a plant-specific basis, determined to meet plant-specific principal design criteria (PDC), and licensed by the Commission. For the purposes of the EPU test program review, SSCs should be considered to be important to safety based on the plant-specific PDC. B. Criterion XI of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 requires that a test program be established to assure that all testing required to demonstrate that SSCs will perform satisfactorily in service is identified and performed in accordance with written test procedures which incorporate the requirements and acceptance limits contained in applicable design documents. The test program is required to include, as appropriate, proof tests prior to installation, preoperational tests, and operational tests of SSCs. Test procedures are required to include provisions for assuring that all prerequisites for the given test have been met, that adequate test instrumentation is available and used, and that the test is performed under suitable environmental conditions. Test results are required to be documented and evaluated to assure that test requirements have been satisfied. Application of Criterion XI of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, to the EPU test program will provide reasonable assurance that SSC capabilities to perform specified functions are not adversely impacted by increasing the maximum allowed power level. Specifically, the EPU test program, in conjunction with operating experience and design control measures (e.g., computer modeling and analyses), provides reasonable assurance that SSCs important to safety will perform satisfactorily in service following the proposed power uprate. The EPU test program also assures that deficiencies are identified and corrected 1Note: The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC’s regulations, and compliance with specific acceptance criteria is not required.
