s. Specifically, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards IEEE-279, “Criteria for Protection Systems for Nuclear Power Generating Stations,” and IEEE-603, “Criteria for Safety Systems for Nuclear Power Generating Stations,” are incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a. Review guidance for the evaluation of protection and safety systems is provided in detail within SRP Chapter 7. The specific areas of review are as follows: 1. The NRC regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a(c) require that components that are part of the reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB) must meet the requirements for Class 1 components in Section III of the ASME BPV Code, Section III, Division 1 and be constructed in accordance with the rules of that Code, except for components that meet the exclusion requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(c). The regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a(d) and 10 CFR 50.55a(e) require that components classified as Quality Group B and Quality Group C, respectively, meet the requirements for Class 2 and Class 3 components in Section III of the ASME BPV Code. Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.26, “Quality Group Classifications and Standards for Water-, Steam-, and Radioactive- Waste-Containing Components of Nuclear Power Plants,” provides guidance for the classification of Quality Group B and Quality Group C components. Applicants will provide a table in their technical submittal identifying pressure vessels, piping, pumps, and valves, and the component code class and applicable Code edition and addenda for each component. Components within the scope of 10 CFR 50.55a are subject to inservice inspection (ISI) and inservice testing (IST) in accordance with Section XI, “Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components,” of the ASME BPV Code, and the ASME OM Code, respectively, as incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a. For construction permit (CP) and operating license (OL) applications under 10 CFR Part 50, “Domestic Licensing of
