Content:
ASME BPV Code and ASME OM Code in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a at a level sufficient to enable the NRC to reach a final conclusion on all safety matters that must be resolved before COL issuance. RG 1.206, “Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants (LWR Edition),” provides guidance for the content of COL applications for a description of the ISI and IST programs to meet 10 CFR 50.55a. The NRC staff reviews the descriptions of these programs and documents its review in the applicable safety evaluation report (SER) sections. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: 1. Compliance with GDC 1 requires that SSCs be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed. The NRC regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a specify application of the ASME BPV Code as incorporated by reference for the construction of ASME BPV Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components. RG 1.26 provides quality group classifications for water-, steam-, and radioactive-waste-containing components (pressure vessels, piping, pumps, valves, and storage tanks) commensurate with the importance of the safety functions they perform. For compliance with these quality group classifications, RCPB and other components within the scope of 10 CFR 50.55a meet the requirements of ASME BPV Code, Section III. These components will perform acceptably, commensurate with their intended safety functions, when designed in accordance with ASME BPV Code requirements as incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a. The staff considers the requirements outlined in GDC 1 to be adequate for assurance that these SSCs will perform acceptably, commensurate with the importance of their safety functions. 5.2.1.1-6 Draft Revision 4 - August 2015 2.
