esigned, fabricated, erected, and tested to have an extremely low probability of abnormal leakage, rapidly propagating failure, or gross rupture. Staff positions described in SRP Section 3.9.2 address dynamic testing of components of the RCPB to ensure that they will withstand the applicable dynamic loads associated with normal operation and transient conditions without leakage, rapidly propagating failure, or gross rupture. Compliance with the requirements of GDC 14 provides assurance that the RCPB will have an extremely low probability of leakage or failure. 5. GDC 15 requires that the RCS be designed with sufficient margin to ensure that the design conditions of the RCPB are not exceeded during any condition of normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. Staff positions are described in SRP Section 3.9.2 on dynamic testing of components of the RCPB to evaluate the appropriate dynamic loads associated with normal operation and transient conditions. Vibration, thermal expansion, and dynamic effects testing are described to verify the design. Compliance with the requirements of GDC 15 provides assurance that the RCPB will remain intact, thus preventing the spread of radioactive contamination. 3.9.2-32 Revision 4 – March 2017 III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The NRC reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular application. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s justification that the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. 1. Test specifications should be in accordance with ASME OM-S/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
