| Title | Periodic Design Basis Testing of Safety-Related Electrical Components |
| Description | The licensees Quality Assurance Program Manual stated they were committed to Regulatory Guide 1.30, Quality Assurance Requirements for the Installation, Inspection, and Testing of Instrumentation and Electric Equipment. This Regulatory Guide endorsed Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard 336-1971 (also known as American National Standards Institute (ANSI) N45.2.4-1972) as adequate for demonstrating compliance with the pertinent quality assurance requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. In addition, Section C.3 of Regulatory Guide 1.30 stated, Although Subdivision 1.1 of ANSI N45.2.4-1972 states the requirements promulgated apply during the construction phase of a nuclear power plant, these requirements are also to be considered applicable for the installation, inspection, and testing of instrumentation and electric equipment during the operation phase of a nuclear power plant. IEEE Standard 336-1971, Section 3.3, Procedures and Instructions, required the licensee to produce documents that shall be kept current by controlled supervision so that installation, inspections, and tests are performed in accordance with the latest approved design and manufacturers instructions. However, while reviewing the licensees management of component design life, the inspectors noted the licensee did not periodically test safety-related electrical components to the design requirements. The licensee interpreted the intent of Section C.3 of Regulatory Guide 1.30 as to apply IEEE 336 requirements only to modifications and activities that were similar to initial construction activities. This issue is a URI pending further review, including consultation with the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, and determination of further NRC actions to resolve the Issue. |
