a(g). The relevant requirements are as follows: A. General Design Criterion 37, as it relates to periodic functional testing of the emergency core cooling system to assure the leak tight integrity and performance of its active components. B. General Design Criterion 40, as it relates to periodic functional testing of the containment heat removal system to assure the leak tight integrity and performance Df its active components. C. General-Design Criterion 43, as it relates to periodic functional testing of the containment atmospheric cleanup systems to assure the leak tight integrity and the performance of the active components, such as pumps and valves. D. General Design Criterion 46, as it relates to periodic functional testing of the cooling water system to assure the leak tight integrity and performance of the active components. E. General Design Criterion 54 as it relates to piping systems penetrating containment being designed with the capability to test periodically the operability of the isolation and determine valve leakage acceptability. F. 10 CFR Part 50, §50.55a(g), as it relates to including pumps and valves whose function is required for safety in the Inservice Inspection Program to verify operational readiness by periodic testing. Specific criteria necessary to meet the relevant requirements of the Commission regulations identified above are as follows: 3.9.6-2 Rev. 2 - July 1981 1. Inservice Testing of Pumps a. The scope of the applicant's test program is acceptable if it is in agreement with IWP-1000 of Section XI of the Code and in addition includes pumps not categorized as Code Class 1, 2, or 3, but which are considered to be safety related. Since the pump test program is based on the detection of changes in the hydraulic and mechanical condition of a pump relative to a reference test specified in IWP-3000, the establishment of a reference set of parameters and a consistent test method is a basic criterion of the program. b. The pump test program
