CFR Title: 

Content:
ASME OM Code requirements or ASME BPV Code, Section XI requirements, if conformance would be impractical for the facility (10 CFR 50.55a(f)(5)(iii) or 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(5)(iii), as applicable) and may impose such alterative requirements as it determines is authorized by law and will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security, and is otherwise in the public interest, giving due consideration to the burden upon the licensee that could result from imposing the requirements. The staff will review any requests for relief to determine if the proposed exceptions will degrade overall plant safety. D. Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(6)(ii) for pumps and valves, the Commission may require the licensee to follow an augmented program for pumps and valves for which the Commission deems that added assurance of operational readiness is necessary. Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(ii) for dynamic restraints, the 3.9.6-9 Revision 4 – March 2017 Commission may require the licensee to follow an augmented program for dynamic restraints for which the Commission deems that added assurance of structural reliability is necessary. E. Under 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(4)(iv) and 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(4)(iv), a nuclear power facility may meet the requirements for pumps and valves, and for dynamic restraints, respectively, in subsequent editions and addenda of the applicable ASME Code that are incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a, subject to the conditions in 10 CFR 50.55a, and subject to NRC approval. F. The staff does not expect new reactor applicants to need alternatives based on hardship or relief based on impracticality because of the lead time available for the design of plant systems to allow the ASME OM Code provisions to be satisfied. 7. Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC). For DC and COL reviews, the applicant’s proposed information on the ITAAC associated with the systems, structures, and components (SSCs) related to this SRP section is reviewed
