and valves Milestone: IST program will be fully implemented after first electrical generation by nuclear heat with appropriate portions of the program implemented as 3.9.6-31 Revision 4 – March 2017 necessary to support the system operability requirements of the technical specifications. Requirement: 10 CFR 50.55a(f) and ASME OM Code C. Inservice examination and testing of dynamic restraints Milestone: Prior to commercial service. Requirement: 10 CFR 50.55a(g) and ASME BPV Code, Section XI, or ASME OM Code D. MOV testing Milestone: Prior to initial fuel load. Requirement: License condition Specific license conditions for the milestones for inservice testing of pumps and valves, and inservice examination and testing of dynamic restraints are not necessary because their implementation is mandated by 10 CFR 50.55a(f) and 10 CFR 50.55a(g), respectively. 10. Tier 2* Information For a DC application, the applicant’s FSAR (or DCD) should specify as Tier 2* information that the functional design and qualification of safety-related pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints shall be performed in accordance with ASME QME-1-2007 as accepted in RG 1.100 (Revision 3). The applicant may reference a more recent edition of ASME QME-1 that has been accepted in later revision of RG 1.100. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of this guidance and/or SRP acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: 1. 10 CFR 50.54(jj), 10 CFR 50.55(i) and GDC 1 require, in part, that SSCs (which include pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints) important to safety be designed, fabricated, erected, constructed, tested, and inspected to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be performed. The provisions for functional design and IST programs for pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints in this SRP section are based on sound engineering principles as well as operating experience at
