\The maximum hypothetical accident (MHA) discussion was inappropriately included in Section 13.2.1
!of the preliminary safety analysis report (PSAR) (NWMI-2013-021, Construction Permit Application for
)Radioisotope Production Facility). NWMI interpreted NUREG-1537, Guidelines for Preparing and jReviewing Applications for the Licensing ofNon-Power Reactors: ~tandard R~view Plan and 1Acceptance Criteria, Part 2, Chapter 13, as augmented by the Interun Staff Gui.dance (ISG) (NRC,
]2012), as requiring.an analysis consistent with both 10 CFR 70.61, "Performance Requirements," and lwith the MHA approach. Additionally, the PSAR combined the two in its approach to the MHA, jproducing an analysis inconsistent with the intended requirements of an MHA analysis.
t fThe accident analyses in the final safety analysis report (FSAR); as part of the Operating License
!Application, will be consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 70.61. As stated in Chapter 13b,
!"Radioisotope Production Facility Accident Analyses,'.' of the ISG Augmenting NUREG-1537, Part 1:
I .
l NRC staffhas determined that the use ofIntegrated Safety Analysis methodologies as described in 10 CFR Part 70 Subpart Hand NUREG-1520, application ofthe radiological and chemical consequence and likelihood criteria contained in the performance requirements of 10 CFR
- 70. 61, designation ofitems relied on for safety, and establishment ofmanagement measures, are acceptable ways ofdemonstrating adequate safety for the medical isotopes production facility.
fThe accident analyses in the PSAR are based on (1) use of integrated safety analysis (ISA)
!methodologies, as described in 10 CFR 70 Subpart Hand NUREG-1520, Standard Review Plan for the
!Review ofa License Application for a Fuel Cycle Facility, (2) application of the radiological and
!chemical consequence and likelihood criteria contained in the performance requirements of 10 CFR l?0.61, (3) designation of items relied on for safety (IROFS), and (4) establishment of management jmeasures to demonstrate adequate safety.
\The ISA includes a systematic analysis and discussion of credible accidents for determining the limiting ievents for several accident categories. The limiting event in each category is analyzed quantitatively to
!determine consequences. Radiological accident consequences, as mitigated by structures, systems, and jcomponents (SSC) and administrative safety measures, are evaluated against the performance
!requirements of 10 CFR 70.61. The safety measures are designated as IROFS.

!SSCs will be designed to protect against both high and immediate consequences. PSAR Section 3.5.1.3.1 jdescribed both the high and the immediate consequence performance requirements from 10 CFR 70.61.
jTo eliminate confusion and ensure completeness, these bullets were removed from PSAR .Section 3.5.1.3 j(see Attachment A), and the 10 CFR 70.61 performance requirements are referenced.

- There are three airports and three helicopter ports located within 16 kilometers (km) (10 miles [mi]) of
- the proposed RPF site. The three airports include:
- Columbia Regional Airport (public) located approximately 10.4 km (6.5 mi) south of the RPF site 1
- Cedar Creek Airport (private) located approximately 10.6 km (6.6 mi) northeast of the RPF site Sugar Branch Airport (private) located approximately 15.6 km (9.7 mi) northwest of the RPF site iTuese airports are identified in PSAR Chapter 2.0, Figure 2-30, of the Construction Permit Application.
- The nearest airport to the RPF is the Columbia Regional Airport, which is used by commercial and
'privately owned aircraft. The airport is situated on approximately 0.532 ha (1,314 acres) and is owned
- and operated by the City of Columbia. This airport is the only public use airport located in Boone
- county, Missouri, for which records are kept. For the 12-month period ending October 31, 2013, the
'airport had 16,610 aircraft operations for an average of 26 flights per day, including:
81 percent general aviation l *
. 16 percent air taxi 2 percent military 1 percent air carrier
- Cedar Creek airport is a private turf landing strip approximately 10.6 km (6.6 mi) northeast of the RPF ;
'.site. The facility houses two private single engine aircraft. The specific number of flights to and from the i
- facility is not available.
The Sugar Branch airport is a private, turf landing strip approximately 15.6 km (9.7 mi) northwest of the
- RPF site. The facility houses one single engine aircraft. The specific number of flights to and from the
- facility are not available.
'Three helicopter ports are located within 16 km ( 10 mi) of the RPF site and support hospital operations,
,including:
~
- University of Missouri Hospitals and Clinics heliport located 6 km (3. 7 mi) northwest
- University of Missouri (MU) heliport located 6 km (3.7 mi) northwest Boone Hospital Center heliport located 6.3 km (3.9 mi) northwest.

!No operations data are available for these heliports.
1Based on NUREG-1537, sites located between 8 km (5 mi) and 16 km (10 mi) from an existing or .
\projected commercial or military airport with more than approximately 200 d2 (where dis the distance in ;
!kilometers from the airport to the RPF site) commercial or military aircraft movements per year, the
)probability of aircraft accidents is considered less than an order of magnitude of 10-7 per year. *
!Tue number of operations at the Cedar Creek and Sugar Branch airports are not available. However, daily) 1operations were assumed based on the aircraft housed, including two operations per day from Cedar '.
iCreek (730 operations/year) and one operation per day from Sugar Branch (365 operations/year). Based '.
jon the results presented in Table 1, all three airports are under the 200 d2 limits.
- i Table 1. 200 D2 Limits Distance Airport km (mi) Flights per year 200 d 2 limitsa i a~ is the distance in kilomete~s from the airport to the .RPF site (200. x qistance, squared) .....
!Based on this requirement, none of these airports needs to be further evaluated. The guidance also jrequires that special consideration be given to facilities sited within the trajectory of a runway of any
- airport. The RPF site is not located within a trajectory of a runway of the airport.
iBecause the three heliports are closer than 8 km (5 mi) to the RPF site, the frequency of an aircraft jcrashing into the site needs to be evaluated. NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan for the Review of iSafety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants, Subsection 3 .5 .1. 6, provides a methodology for ,
!determining the probability of an aircraft crash into a facility from airways. However, the approach requires :
!knowledge of the number of flights per year along the airway. Because this information is not available 1for the flight paths near the RPF, DOE-STD-3014-2006, Accident Analysis for Aircraft Crash into
!Hazardous Facilities, was used to determine the frequency of crashes. The following equation is used.
Fh = Nh x Ph x fh(x,y) x Ah
!Where:
Fh Crash impact frequency N Flight per year Ph Probability of a crash fh(x,y) Probability, given a crash, that the crash occurs in a l-mi2 area surrounding the facility
= Effective plant area.
I
\The effective area for an aircraft was determined by two components: the aircraft crashing into the
!facility either by skidding or by flying directly into it. The effective area was calculated based on an laircraft skidding or flying into the facility in the direction that produces the largest area (i.e., crashing in a; jdirection perpendicular to the largest diagonal of the building).
iThe following formula was used to calculating the skid and fly in areas of an aircraft crashing into the
!facility.
\Where:
(2 xL x W x WS)
Ar = (WS + R) x H x cot</J + R +L x W 5 of 96

!Where:

' As Effective skid area ws = Aircraft wingspan R = Length of the diagonal of the facility = ..JL2 + W 2 H Facility height, facility-specific cot<l> Mean of the cotangent of the aircraft impact angle L Length of facility, facility-specific w Width of facility, facility-specific s = Aircraft skid distance (mea.Ii value).
'.DOE-STD-3014-2006 notes that in calculating an effective area, the analyst needs to be cognizant of the
- "critical areas" of the facility. The critical areas are locations in a facility that contain hazardous material and/or locations that, once impacted by a crash, can lead to cascading failures (e.g., a fire, collapse,
'.and/or explosion that would impact the hazardous material). The critical areas of the RPF are considered ,
- to be the hot cell and waste management areas. *
- The critical areas dimensions are estimated at 30.5 x 24 meters (m) (100 x 80 feet [ft]), which provides a ;
diagonal (R) of39 m (128 ft). The facility height (H) of22.9 m (75 ft) was used. DOE-STD-3014-2006 l
.provides estimates for aircraft wingspan, mean of the cotangent of the aircraft impact angle, and skid
.distance for five different aircraft types. For helicopters, the cot<l> value is 0.58 and the skid length is
'typically assumed to be 0. The effective area is calculated in Table 2.

Helicopter : 50 0.58 0 0.00079 a DOE-STD-3014-2006, Accident Analysis for Aircraft Crash into Hazardous Facilities, U.S. Department of Energy, Washington, D.C., 1996 (R2006).
For a helicopter, fh(x,y) is estimated based on half the average length of a flight with the lateral
- variations in crash locations assumed to be one-quarter mile on the average from the centerline of the
- flight path or 2/L. The probability Ph (2.50E-05) is taken from DOE-STD-3014-2006, Appendix B
- Table B-1. The total number of flights from the three helipads are estimated at 1,825 per year. A ;
!conservation estimate is that 5 percent of these helicopters overfly the facility. In addition, a conservative i
- estimate of total flight path is the distance to the closest helipad or 6 km (3.7 mi).
I
!Based on these assumptions, the helicopter impact frequency is calculated as follows:
2 Fh = 91 x 2.SE- 05 x _ x 7.9£- 04 37 Fh = 9.7E-o7 The calculated crash impact frequency from the heliport is less than the requirement ofNUREG-0800 of f
'.being within an order of magnitude of 10-7 per year. Therefore, no further analysis is required. This ;
'information will be added to PSAR Section 2.2.2.

- The analysis performed does not bound an explosion of the total inventory of nearby facilities. The ianalysis uses the largest tank for two identified facilities to determine the effect on RPF operations or
!safe shutdown. It was determined to be highly unlikely for the total inventory from both facilities to be
!involved in the explosion scenario due to the following. At the MU South Farm, the closest facility, the jtotal inventory of propane is in multiple disperse locations. For the Magellan Pipeline facility, an
- accidental explosion of multiple tanks at one time adding to the pressure wave is also highly unlikely .

/As identified in PSAR Section 2.2.3 .1.2, Table 2-17, the acceptable distance or diesel at the MU South
- Farm is 0.94 km (0.58 mi). The diesel tanks are 1.6 km (1 mi) from the RPF. Based on the explosion ianalysis conducted in EDF-3124-0016, Analysis ofPotential Accidents at Nearby Facilities, an
- explosion of the tanks would not affect the RFP.

- A site-specific geotechnical investigation of the RPF will be conducted site to ensure that the area does
,not have the potential for sinkholes. If the investigation does identify the potential for sinkholes, the
'.design would incorporate one of the following alternatives: (1) excavate site both vertically and
'horizontally to remove that potential and backfill with structural fill, or (2) install piers to bedrock to
- '.support the substructure if a sinkhole was to occur. If one of these alternatives needs to be implemented,
)t will be determined after the geotechnical investigation is complete, incorporated in the final RPF
- design, and presented in the FSAR as part of the Operating License Application. .

)Design of fire suppression systems using water (e.g., automatic sprinklers, hose stations) includes
)elements such as the grading and channeling of floors, raising of equipment mounts above floors,
- shelving and floor drains, and other passive means. These features will ensure sufficient capacity for 1
gravity-driven collection and drainage of the maximum water discharge rate and duration to avoid
!localized flooding and resulting water damage to equipment within the area. In addition, particularly I
)sensitive systems and components, whether electrical, optical, mechanical and/or chemical, are typically
!protected within enclosures designed for the anticipated adverse environmental conditions resulting from
!these types of water discharges. If critical for safety, these water-sensitive systems and components will
- be installed within the appropriate severe environment-rated enclosures in accordance with the relevant
\industry standard(s) (e.g., NEMA enclosure standards).
- Selection of specific fire suppression systems for facility locations will be guided by the recommendations
- offered in relevant industry standards (e.g., NFPA 801, Standard for Fire Protection for Facilities
'Handling Radioactive Materials) and will depend on the level of fire hazards at those locations, as
!determined from the final facility and process systems designs. These final detailed designs will include
\any facility design elements and sensitive equipment protection measures deemed necessary for
!addressing the maximum inadvertent rate and duration of water discharges from the fire protection
- systems. The final comprehensive facility design, along with commitments to design codes, standards, iand other referenced documents (including any exceptions or exemptions to the identified requirements), '
lwill be identified and provided in the FSAR as part of the Operating License Application. :

NRC has recommended using Regulatory Guide 1.60 for radioisotopes production facilities (e.g., .
10 CFR 5 0, "Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities"). NWMI will use a spectrum 1
!anchored to 0.20 g PGA for the RPF design basis. Regulatory Guide 1.60 is not indexed to any specific
!soil type, with its frequency content sufficiently broad to cover all soil types. Therefore, soil type for the
/RPF will not be a parameter used to determine the RPF's design response spectra. Tue composition of
- soil in which the RPF is embedded will be included in the soil-structure-interaction analysis as part of the
\building response analysis. This information will be provided in the FSAR as part of Operating License
!Application.
- Table 3-22 will be deleted from PSAR Section 2.5 .6. In addition, Regulatory Guide 1.60 will be added to l iPSAR Section 3.4.1.1 forthe determination of the RPF design response spectra.
'The seismic soil classification for the RPF site is Class C. Thus, the reference to the Boone County site as)
'being soil Class Din PSAR Section 2.5.6 will be changed to Class C.
IPSAR Section 2.5.6 will be modified to reflect the above information.

'Damping varies depending on the type of SSC. Structural damping will follow the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.61, which range from about 3 to 7 percent. Plotting response spectra at 5 percent
\damping for purposes of illustration is a convention within the nuclear industry, but for analysis loads,

~not "safety-related." Although the seismic recorders have no safety function, they must be designed to 1 withstand any credible level of shaking to ensure that the ground motion would be recorded in the highly
- iunlikely event of an earthquake. This capability requires verification of adequate capacity from the
- manufacturer (e.g., prior shake table tests of their product line), provision of adequate anchorage (e.g.,
!manufacturer-provided anchor specifications to ensure accurate recordings), and a check for seismic
- interaction hazards such as water spray or falling fixtures. With these design features, the instrumentation;
- would be treated as if it were safety-related QL-2. Additional information on seismic instruction will be :

!NWMI has revised its Quality Assurance (QA) Plan to clarify the difference between QL-1 and QL-2.
i~PSAR Section 3.5.1.3 was modified to reflect the changes in the quality level definitions (Attachment A).:
Request for additional information
]The basis forthe difference in QL-1 and QL-2 is a* graded approach to quality, by which the level of *
/analysis, documentation, and actions necessary to comply with a requirement is commensurate with the
)safety significance. The graded approach permits the implementing organization to focus resources on
/those activities that are deemed, by qualitative analysis, to reduce the associated risks and hazards. The factivities and tasks are performed in accordance with approved implementing procedures.
iThe graded approach to quality is a process by which the level of analysis, documentation, and actions ,
inecessary to comply with a requirement is commensurate with the safety significance. A graded approach;
)permits the implementing organization to focus resources on those activities that are deemed, by *
\qualitative analysis, to reduce the associated risks and hazards.
I
- Activities and tasks are performed in accordance with the quality level definitions.
l
failure or malfunction could directly result in a condition that adversely affects workers, the public,
- and/or environment, as described in 10 CFR 70.61.
!
- Quality Level 2 will be applied to safety SSCs that are non-QL-1 SSCs. Some of the required characteristics may be examined less rigorously than for QL-1 items.
Quality Level 3 items include those items that are not classified as QL-1 or QL-2. QL-3 items are controlled in accordance with standard commercial practices.

'.Tue QA Plan will be revised to clarify the difference between QL-1 and QL-2. For two SSCs with the '
!same performance requirements, NWMI would not expect the components to be materially different.
!However, the level of analysis, documentation, and actions necessary to comply with a requirement is
- commensurate with the safety significance; therefore, a QL-2 SSC may have different verification.

/Each of the hot cells will have manipulators that will be used to perform maintenance within the hot
\cells. Equipment within the hot cells will also be positioned on skids for ease of removal and replacement [
!if necessary. If maintenance cannot be performed by the in-cell manipulators, the cover blocks can be I
\removed and the required equipment replaced. For the tank hot cell, a portable manipulator can be moved l Ito different locations with the tank hot cell to perform maintenance. The design philosophy that will be !
iincorporated in the FSAR as part of the Operating License Application will use remote handling for as Jmuch maintenance as possible within the hot cells. In additional, the ventilation and changes in building

Examples include transfer of targets into the Jcask, removal of the loaded cask from the reactor pool, assembly of the cask lid, removal of water from
!the cask, drying the cask, performing the cask leak-check procedure, and cask decontamination and
/verification. At-reactor handling procedures are projected to require significantly longer than eight hours jfor an individual cask. Independent of the actual cask handling time required, the clock time for end of
)irradiation of a target batch becomes a datapoint recorded on transfer papers, and a cask will not be
)unloaded until the minimum decay time after end of irradiation used in safety evaluations has elapsed.

\The target load per week described in PSAR Section 5 .1.1 will be changed to 12 MURR targets per week I
!in the FSAR as part of the Operating License Application. The modification will include update of !
)NWMI-2015-CALC-022, Maximum Vessel Heat Load, Temperature, and Pressure Estimates, with a l imore detailed analysis and revision of PSAR Section 5.1.1, Figure 5-2. The inconsistency identified is !
- not expected to modify the thermal analysis in subsequent sections of PSAR Chapter 5. 0. The thermal
- iload is characterized by radial heat transfer in a vessel and the uranium concentration of solutions held
'.within vessels throughout the RFP. Increasing the number of targets processed during a given week 1
!increases the total liquid volume contained in geometrically favorable vessels (or liquid level height), but)
~o~s not change the uranium concentration or radial thermal flux. !

.Figure 5 groups individual experiments into sets that correspond to common moderators that include
.water, graphite, carbon fluoride (CF2), hydrogen bound in uranium trihydride (UH3), and no moderator.
'When the calculation results for these experiment sets are graphed, some of the experimental results lie

- trend exists in the moderator parameter that would suggest the method bias (calculated in Section 5.3 of
-the validation report) has a dependence on moderation. In the Section 5.1.5 discussion of conclusions
,regarding the trending evaluation depicted in Figure 5, rather than stating the evaluation demonstrates no l
- significant bias with the various moderators, the statement should read, "the evaluation demonstrates no
- significant trend with respect to moderation that would influence the method bias."
- Similarly, for Figure 6, the intent is to determine if a trend exists in the reflector parameter that would
- suggest the method bias (calculated in Section 5 .3) has a dependence on reflection. The Section 5 .1. 6 1
discussion will be modified to "the evaluation demonstrates no significant trend with respect to reflection!
'that would influence the method bias." *
- For Figure 7, the intent is to determine if a trend exists with respect to chemical form that would suggest
'the method bias has a dependence on chemical form. Section 5.1.7 will be modified to "the evaluation
- demonstrates no significant trend with respect to chemical form that would influence the method bias."
'The method bias is developed in Section 5.3, and all of the experiment sets included in Figures 5 through!
7 are evaluated there for the method bias calculation.

.PerNWMI-2015-CRITCALC-006, the modeled maximum volume of any of the uranium containing
.vessels is [Proprietary Information]. To reach a 1 cm (0.39-in.) depth on the floor of the uranium purification hot cell floor, [Proprietary Information] would have to be spilled at the same time. This
- would be equivalent to a simultaneous spill of almost [Proprietary Information] in the hot cell. A spill of
- this magnitude should bound any spill expected to occur during operation of the facility. In addition, all
'.of the vessels in the interaction calculation were assumed to be full of fluid, even though a large portion
.of the actual fluid would be on the floor to achieve the 1 cm (0.39-in.) height, thus maximizing the
'possible interaction effects of the scenario.

the paddle blank in accordance with the activity that is being undertaken. With this required verification, 1
- either the primary or secondary contingency is unlikely to occur. These actions are determined to be
'.sufficiently independent such that for the scenario to occur, two independent, unlikely failures would be irequired, thus satisfying the double-contingency principle and rendering the occurrence of the scenario to;

- The addition of fresh resin is not a routine occurrence, and is expected to occur on an annual or semi-
.annual schedule. Fresh resin will typically be added to a water-filled column with no SNM present. Once :
- the new resin is added, the valves will be closed and the blank inserted. The operating/design conditions l
- of this equipment (column is pressurized) does not lend itself to passive features. The analyzed controls
- iare considered to be adequate.
The current design of this equipment does not include passive backflow design features, as the analyzed controls are considered to be adequate. Consideration will be given to providing passive backflow controls for this scenario and will be provided in the FSAR as part of the Operating License Application. I 44 of96

)Scenario C8 in NWMl-2015-CSE-008 evaluates the backflow of material into the incoming air or gas
- lines I
to a vessel holding fissile material. Both the tank venting and overloop seal systems described in
!Scenario C8 are passive systems. An overloop seal system provides an overloop in the supply line for
!each gas addition stream that is of sufficient height such that even at the maximum possible pressure in
!the attached fissile-containing vessel, the fissile fluid cannot reach a sufficient height to flow through the ,
!loop and back into the nongeometric favorable parts of the gas system. Tanks are vented directly to the
- jprocess vessel ventilation system. The vent header in the hot cell is geometrically favorable and has drain ;
\lines to favorable geometry tanks or sumps. Since both systems are passive, these controls are considered
- junlikely to fail, and failure of both simultaneously is considered to be highly unlikely. .

- The I&C systems preliminary design was developed to ensure the sufficiency of the principal design
,criteria, design bases, and information relative to materials of construction, general arrangement, and
\approximate dimensions sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that the final design will conform to
'.the design basis. In addition, the preliminary design of the RPF I&C subsystems, including specific
- details on human-machine interface (HMI), was not developed to constitute approval of the safety of any
- design feature or specification. Such approval is anticipated to be made following evaluation of the final 1
- design of the RPF I&C system, and described in the FSAR as part of the Operating License Application.
ITo be consistent in the PS.AR, terms like "operator interface displays" and "operator interface terminals"
!will be replaced with the single term, HMI (e.g., pages 7-i, 7-iv, 7-4, 7-15, 7-17, 7-18, 7-20, and 7-21).

- The calculations of airborne release in PSAR Section 11.1.1.1.2, "Release of Airborne Radionuclides,"
- are based on the processing of eight targets at MURR. This section will be updated and described in the ,
,FSAR as part of the Operating License Application. The basis will be consistent with nominal operating conditions. The primary dose contributor is the xenon noble gas, and the offgas system is designed to
*retain the xenon to below release limits and bound the range of target processing. :

- PSAR Chapter 11.0, Figure 11-2, shows five doors from the outside of the RFP to entrances into the
!"restricted area." Each door will have two-credential access control (e.g., fob/PIN, fob/bio, or bio/PIN). iThe RPF Radiation Protection Program will require personnel to access assigned dosimetry and portable
- survey instrumentation (as needed based on the work authorized) from an as-yet unspecified location
- within the RPF administrative area before entering the restricted area. Portal survey monitoring will be in-place at the exit from the restricted area into the administrative area. The specifics on the type and
- instrument used will be described in the FSAR as part of the Operating License Application and will Ieither be a control that allows standing passive detection or hand and foot monitors. ,
- This corridor, which is not continuously manned, will normally have a dose rate less than 0.5 mrem.
,However, this corridor provides access to the solid waste drums in the manipulator hot cells and ,
- therefore, at times, may have a higher dose rate and require radiation controls consistent with the planned 1
- activity. _ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ __ _ _ _ .

- At discharge from the Oregon State University TRIGA Reactor (OS1R) (or third) reactor, the 30 targets
- will have essentially the same amount of radioactivity as eight targets being discharged from MURR
'Since the OSTR targets are not going to be received for 48 hours, the total radioactivity is significantly 'less than the eight MURR targets received in 8 hours. Therefore, other than grams of uranium, the
- radiation source for the 30 OS1R targets is lower.

- Details on the area monitoring program will be provided in the FSAR as part of the Operating License iApplication. Area monitoring is anticipated to comprise a combination of passive (e.g., TLD or OSL
!monitors changed out monthly or quarterly) and active (e.g., energy-compensated G-M detector systems iwith local and remote monitoring capability) monitoring systems located at points in the controlled area jthat would provide reasonable assurance that radiation areas are not present in the controlled area. The jselection of specific instrumentation, range of detection, and alert/alarm setpoints will be consistent with !the intent to detect radiation areas where they should not be and alert personnel to this changing !condition.

iAt discharge from OSTR (or third) reactor, the 30 targets will have essentially the same amount of
- radioactivity as eight targets being discharged from MURR. Since the OSTR targets are not going to be
- received for 48 hours due to transportation time, their total radioactivity is significantly less than the
- eight MURR targets received in 8 hours. The OSTR targets at receipt are estimated to have only iapproximately 40 percent of the MURR targets at receipt. Therefore, other than grams of uranium, the
- radiation source for the 30 OSTR targets is lower and is not used in the shielding analysis.

.The Waste Management Lead (not the Radiation Protection Manager) has responsibility for oversight,
- handling, and disposal of radioactive wastes. PSAR Section 11.1.2.1.3 will be modified to delete
- "overseeing handling and disposal of radioactive wastes;" this information will be added to PSAR
'.Section 11.2.1.3.2. \Radioactive waste management responsibilities within the NWMI management structure include: Implements waste management policy , Develops waste management procedures for the processing, packaging, and shipment of radioactive! waste from the facility Processes, packages, and ships radioactive waste from the facility Provides technical input to the design of equipment and processes
- Provides technical input to the waste management training program Establishes and maintains contractual relationships with waste disposal sites and radioactive waste earners
- Maintains working knowledge of the waste acceptance criteria, standards, guides, and codes with respect to waste disposal
- Conducts self-assessments of waste management practices and compliance with procedures in accordance with the waste management self-assessment program

- Tue estimates for the laboratory facilities or facility support waste volume projections in PSAR
- chapter 19.0, Table 19-13, have no definitive basis and will be further defined in the NWMI Operating 1License Application. The estimated facility support waste values in Table 19-13 will be added to PSAR .
- chapter 11.0, Table 11-6. Shipment will be made in a timely manner to minimize the inventory of stored !
*waste at the RPF. The Class A waste will typically be shipped monthly or when a trailer of drums has ' 'accumulated. The high-dose waste will be decayed to meet shipping cask limits and then transported to 1the disposal site. Solid waste encapsulated in cement (55-gal drums) will typically be shipped when 10 1 drums are available to fill the shipping cask. The other (low volume) waste streams will be disposed of
- shortly after. :

- Tue QA Plan will be revised to clarify the difference between QL-1 and QL-2. Section 3.5.1.3 was imodified to reflect the changes in the quality level definitions (Attachment A). The basis for the
- difference in QL-1 and QL-2 is a graded approach to quality, by which the level of analysis,
- documentation, and actions necessary to comply with a requirement is commensurate with the safety
- significance. The graded approach permits the implementing organization to focus resources on those
~activities that are deemed, by qualitative analysis, to reduce the associated risks and hazards. The (activities and tasks are performed in accordance with approved implementing procedures.
- The graded approach to quality is a process by which the level of analysis, documentation, and actions
- necessary to comply with a requirement is commensurate with the safety significance. A graded approach!
!permits the implementing organization to focus resources on those activities that are deemed, by ! 1qualitative analysis, to reduce the associated risks and hazards. Activities and tasks are performed in accordance with the quality level definitions.
- Quality Level 1 will be applied to IROFS (SSCs and activities). IROFS are QL-1 items in which ;
failure or malfunction could directly result in a condition that adversely affects workers, the public, l and/or environment, as described in 10 CFR 70.61. Quality Level 2 will be applied to safety SSCs that are non-QL-1 SSCs. Some of the required characteristics may be examined less rigorously than for QL-1 items. Quality Level 3 items include those items that are not classified as QL-1 or QL-2. QL-3 items are controlled in accordance with standard commercial practices. 78 of96

- of their software products. In addition, methods to control and approve supplier-generated documents
- will be established. Based on the complexity of the product and importance to safety, NWMI will
- independently verify the quality of supplier's product using source surveillances, inspections, audits, and .
!review of supplier's nonconformances, dispositions, waivers, and corrective actions. NWMI-QA-PR0-029,; 1 ,Testing, identifies the process by which computer software testing will be completed. The software requirements review will be performed at the completion of the software requirements
- documentation and will ensure that the requirements are complete, verifiable, consistent, and technically
.feasible. The review will also ensure that the requirements will result in feasible and usable code.
- During software testing, the design as implemented in code will be exercised by executing the test cases.
- Failure to successfully execute the test cases will be reviewed to determine if modifications of the
-requirements, design, implementation, and/or test plans and cases are required. The code will be .validated and verified to ensure adherence to the requirements and that the software produces correct
- results for the test cases. To evaluate technical adequacy, the software test case results can be compared lto results from alternative methods, including analysis without computer assistance, experiments and

!Release of diamylamylphosphonate (DAAP) from the ion exchange column media during operation must .
/be evaluated as part of the research and development program. Limited data described in Appendix E of lNWMl-2013-034, Uranium Recovery and Recycle Process Descriptions, PFD and P&ID, indicates that
!the media beads have the potential to swell when the adsorbed dose exceeded IOx 10 6 rad. Swollen beads lhave the potential to release DAAP from the media skeleton to other process vessels. Release ofDAAP !is considered an issue from both a thermal/radiolytic decomposition perspective (e.g., in concentrators)
- ,and represents a potential criticality issue ifDAAP were to collect as a separate phase in a non-
\geometrically favorable vessel. ." "** ,;,; :..,-***~*.t~.:.~ .~o_c...-.*"'***.~.--,. ~ *--.:~*,- *.* .* .,. - *-.---~

- The MHA discussion was inappropriately included in PSAR Section 13.2.1. NWMI interpreted the ISG
!augmenting NUREG-1537 as requiring an analysis consistent with both 10 CFR 70.61 and with the 'MHA approach. Additionally, NWMI combined the two in its .approach to the MHA, producing an
- analysis inconsistent with the intended requirements of an MHA analysis. As only one analysis is 1
required, the MHA discussion in PSAR Section 13.2.1 will be removed from the PSAR. 1 See response to RAI G-3 for further discussion. 1**R:i\i'.~1*3.2*.:a*:7;;;~*is.9:1~g;;~ti~i}luf?Ea--:Ff§7,I';/tisk~ii~1i-*~3b'.2:.~;;.iza"'i§~;;;:ofiJ~Tik;?'t;;;11zF.7iai~l~'ii~~t~*;:

- NORTHWESTMEDlCAl.ISOTOPES 3.5 SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS Certain systems and components of the RPF are considered important to safety because they perform safety functions during normal operations or are required to prevent or mitigate the consequences of abnormal operational transients or accidents. This section summarizes the design basis for design, construction, and operating characteristics of safety-related SSCs of the RPF.
3.5.1 General Design Basis Information 3.5.1.1 Classification of Systems and Components Important to Safety The RPF systems and components will be classified according to their importance to safety, quality levels, and seismic class. The guidance used in developing these classifications during preliminary design with the support of regulatory guidance reviews, hazards and operability analysis, accident analysis, integrated safety analysis, and national consensus code requirements is presented below. The RPF systems identified in Table 3-1 and their associated subsystems and components are discussed in the subsections that follow. 3.5.1.2 Classification Definitions The definitions used in the classification of SSCs include the following. In accordance with 10 CFR 50 .2, "Definitions," design basis refers to information that identifies the specific functions to be performed by an SSC of a facility and the specific values or ranges of values chosen for controlling parameters as reference bounds for design. These values may be:
- Restraints derived from generally accepted state-of-the-art practices for achieving functional goals
- Requirements derived from analysis (e.g., calculation, experiments) of the effects of a postulated accident for which a SSC must meet its functional goals These reference bounds are to include the bounding conditions under which SSCs must perform design basis functions and may be derived from normal operation or any accident or events for which SS Cs are required to function, including anticipated operational occurrences, design basis accidents, external events, natural phenomena, and other events specifically addressed in the regulations.
Safety-related is a classification applied to items relied on to remain functional during or following a design basis event (DBE) to ensure the:
- Integrity of the facility infrastructure
- Capability to shut down the facility and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition
- Capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents that could result in potential off-site exposures comparable to the applicable guideline exposures set forth in 10 CFR 70.61, "Performance Requirements," as applicable Design basis accident is a postulated accident that a nuclear facility must be designed and built to withstand, without loss to the SSCs necessary to ensure public health and safety.
Design basis event (DBE) is an event that is a condition of normal operation (including anticipated operational occurrences), a design basis accident, an external event, or natural phenomena for which the facility must be designed so that the safety-related functions are achievable. 3-43
.:....~*-. NWM I NWMl-2015-021, Rev. OA Chapter 3.0 - Design of Structures, Systems and Components .: !~.~!: NOflTHVJESTMEDICALISOTOPES Design basis accidents and transients are those DBEs that are accidents and transients and are postulated in the safety analyses. The design basis accidents and transients are used in the design of the facility to establish acceptable performance requirements for SSCs.
Single failure is considered a random failure and can include an initiating event (e.g., component failure, natural phenomenon, external man-made hazard) or consequential failures. Mechanical, instrumentation, and electrical systems and components required to perform their intended safety function in the event of a single failure are designed to include sufficient redundancy and independence. This type of design verifies that a single failure of any active component does not result in a loss of the capability of the system to perform its safety functions. Mechanical, instrumentation, and electrical systems and components are designed to ensure that a single failure, in conjunction with an initiating event, does not result in the loss of the RPF's ability to perform its intended safety function. Design techniques such as physical separation, functional diversity, diversity in component design, and principles of operation, will be used to the extent necessary to protect against a single failure. An initiating event is a single occurrence, including its consequential effects, that places the RPF (or some portion) in an abnormal condition. An initiating event and its resulting consequences are not considered a single failure. Active components are devices characterized by an expected significant change of state or discernible mechanical motion in response to an imposed demand on the system or operation requirements (e.g., switches, circuit breakers, relays, valves, pressure switches, motors, dampers, pumps, and analog meters). An active component failure is a failure of the component to complete its intended safety function(s) on demand. Passive components are devices characterized by an expected negligible change of state or negligible mechanical motion in response to an imposed design basis load demand on the system. Defense-in-depth is an approach to designing and operating nuclear facilities that prevents and mitigates accidents that release radiation or hazardous material through the creation of multiple independent and redundant layers of defense to compensate for potential human and mechanical failures so that no single layer, no matter how robust, is exclusively relied on. Defense-in-depth includes the use of access controls, physical barriers, redundant and diverse key safety functions, and emergency response measures. The RPF structure and system designs are based on defense-in-depth practices. The RPF design incorporates:
- Preference for engineered controls over administrative controls
- Independence to avoid common mode failures
- Other features that enhance safety by reducing challenges to safety-related components and systems Safety-related systems and components identified in this section are described in Chapters 4.0; 5.0, "Coolant Systems;" 6.0; 7.0; 8.0, Electrical Power Systems;" and 9.0, "Auxiliary Systems," as appropriate.
3.5.1.3 Nuclear Safety Classifications for Structures, Systems, and Components SSCs in the RPF are classified as safety-related and non-safety-related. The safety-related SSCs include IROFS to meet the performance requirement of 10 CFR 70.61 and other safety related SSCs to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 20. The purpose of this section is to classify SSCs according to the safety function being performed. 3-44

- Safety-related IROFS - SSCs identified through accident analyses as required to meet the performance requirements of 10 CFR 70.61 (see Table 3-2)
- Safety-related - SSCs that provide reasonable assurance that the facility can be operated without undue risk to the health and safety of workers, the public, and environment, includes SSCs to meet 10 CFR 20 normal release or exposure limits
- Non-safety-related - SSCs related to the production and delivery of products or services that are not in the above safety classifications 3.5.1.3.1 Quality Group Classifications for Structures, Systems, and Components The assignment of safety-related classification and use of codes and standards conforms to the requirements NWMI's Quality Assurance Program Plan (QAPP) for the development of a Quality Group classification and the use of codes and standards. The classification system provides a recognizable means of identifying the extent to which SS Cs are related to safety-related and seismic requirements, including ANS nuclear safety classifications, NRC quality groups, ASME Code Section III classifications, seismic categories, and other applicable industry standards, as shown in Table 3-T.

QA Level 1 will implement the full measure of the QAPP and will be applied to IROFS. IROFS are QA Level 1 items in which failure or malfunction could directly result in a condition that adversely affects workers, the public, and/or environment, as described in 10 CFR 70.61. Examples include:
- Items to prevent nuclear criticality accidents (e.g., preventive controls and measures to ensure that under normal and credible abnormal conditions, all nuclear processes are subcritical)
- Items credited to withstand credible design-bases external events (e.g., seismic, wind)
- Items to prevent degradation of structural integrity (e.g., failure or malfunction of facility)
QA Level 2 will be applied to non-QA Level 1 safety SSCs. The QA program is important to the acceptability and suitability of the item or service to perform as specified. Acceptance methods shall be specified (including acceptance and other applicable performance criteria), documented, and verified before use of the item or service. Some of the required characteristics may be examined less rigorously than for QA Level 1. Examples of QA Level 2 items include:
- SSCs to meet 10 CFR 20 normal release or exposure limits
- Fire protection systems
- Seismic detection systems
- Safeguards and security systems
- Material control and accountability systems QA Level 3 will include non-safety-related quality activities performed by NWMI that are deemed necessary to ensure the manufacture and delivery of highly reliable products and services to meet or exceed customer expectations and requirements. QA Level 3 items include those items that are not classified as QA Level 1 or QA Level 2. QA Level 3 items are controlled in accordance with standard commercial practices.

3.5.1.3.2 Seismic Classification for Structures, Systems, and Components SSCs identified as IROFs will be designed to satisfy the general seismic criteria to withstand the effects of natural phenomena (e.g., earthquakes, tomados, hurricanes, floods) without loss of capa~ility to perform their safety functions. ASCE 7, Chapter 11, sets forth the criteria to which the plant design bases demonstrate the capability to function during and after vibratory ground-motion associated with the safe-shutdown earthquake conditions. The seismic classification methodology used for the RPF complies with the preceding criteria, and with the recommendations stated in Regulatory Guide 1.29, Seismic Design Classification. The methodology classifies SSCs into three categories: seismic Category I (C-1), seismic Category II (C-11), and non-seismic (NS). Seismic C-1 applies to both functionality and integrity, while C-11 applies only to integrity. SSCs located in the proximity ofIROFs, the failure of which during a safe-shutdown earthquake could result in loss of function of IROFs, are designated as C-11. Specifically:
- C-1 applies to IROFs. C-1 also applies to those SSCs required to support to shut down the RPF and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition.
- C-11 applies to SSCs designed to prevent collapse under the safe-shutdown earthquake. SSCs are classified as C-11 to preclude structural failure during a safe-shutdown earthquake, or where interaction with C-1 items could degrade the functioning of a safety-related SSC to an unacceptable level or could result in an incapacitating injury to occupants of the main control room.
- NS SSCs are those that are not classified seismic C-1 or C-11.
3.5.2 Radioisotope Production Facility Systems and components within the RPF are presented in Section 3 .5 .1. The RPF design basis evaluated the general design criteria from 10 CFR 70.64, "Requirements for New Facilities or New Processes at Existing Facilities." This evaluation is presented in Table 3-23. These general design criteria provide a rational basis from which to initiate design but are not mandatory. There are some cases where conformance to a particular criterion is not directly measurable. For each of the criteria, a specific assessment of the RPF design is made, and a complete list of references is included to identify where detailed design information pertinent to each criterion is treated. The Chapter 13. 0 accident sequences for credible events define the DBE. The safety-related parameter limits ensure that the associated design basis is met for the events presented in Chapter 13.0. 3-46

b As used in 10 CFR 70.64, requirements for new facilities or new processes at existing facilities, defense-in-depth practices means a design philosophy, applied from the outset and through completion of the design, that is based on providing successive levels of protection such that health and safety will not be wholly dependent on any single element of the design, construction, maintenance, or operation of the facility. The net effect of incorporating defense-in-depth practices is a conservatively designed facility and system that will exhibit greater tolerance to failures and external challenges. BMS building management system. NRC U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. CFR Code of Federal Regulations. NWMI Northwest Medical Isotopes, LLC. ESF engineered safety feature. QAPP quality assurance program plan. FPC facility process control. RPF Radioisotope Production Facility. I&C instrumentation and control. SNM special nuclear material. lROFS items relied on for safety. SSC structures, systems, and components. The criteria are generic in nature and subject to a variety ofinterpretations; however, they also establish a proven basis from which to provide for and assess the safety of the RPF and develop principal design criteria. The general design criteria establish the necessary design, fabrication, construction, testing, and performance requirements for SSCs important to safety (i.e., SSCs that provide reasonable assurance that the facility can be operated without undue risk to the health and safety of workers, the public, and environment). Safety-related SSCs for the RPF will be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested as required by the NWMI QAPP, described in Chapter 12.0, Appendix C. In addition, appropriate records of the design, fabrication, erection, procurement, testing, and operations of SSCs will be maintained throughout the life of the plant. The RPF design addresses the following:
- Radiological and chemical protection
- Natural phenomena hazards
- Fire protection
- Environmental and dynamic effects
- Emergency capability (e.g., licensed material, hazardous chemicals, evacuation of on-site personnel, on-site emergency facilities/off-site emergency facilities)
- Utility services
- Inspection, testing, and maintenance
- Criticality safety
- Instrumentation and controls

NDRTHWESTIAEDICAltSOTDPES Safety-related systems and components will be qualified using the applicable guidance in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard IEEE 323, IEEE Standardfor Qualifying Class IE Equipmentfor Nuclear Power Generating Stations. The qualification of each safety-related system or component needs to demonstrate the ability perform the associated safety function:
- Under environmental and dynamic service conditions in which they are required to function
- For the length of time the function is required Additionally, non-safety-related components and systems will be qualified to withstand environmental stress caused by environmental and dynamic service conditions under which their failure could prevent satisfactory accomplishment of the safety-related functions.
- The RPF instrumentation and control (I&C) system (also known as the facility process control [FPC]
system) will provide monitoring and control of the process systems within the RPF that are significant to safety over anticipated ranges for normal operations and abnormal operations. The FPC system will perform as the overall production process controller. This system will monitor and control the process instrumented functions within the RPF, including monitoring of process fluid transfers and controlled inter-equipment pump transfers of process fluids. The FPC system will also ensure that process and utility systems operate in accordance with their safety function. Controls will be provided to maintain variables and systems within the prescribed operating ranges under all normal conditions. In addition, the FPC system is designed to fail into a safe state or to assume a state demonstrated to be acceptable if conditions such as loss of signal, loss of energy or motive power, or adverse environments are experienced. The building management system (BMS) (a subset of the FPC system) will monitor the RPF ventilation system and mechanical utility systems. The BMS primary functions will be to monitor the facility ventilation system and monitor and control (tum on and off) the mechanical utility systems. ESF systems will operate independently from the FPC system or BMS. Each ESF safety function will use hard-wired analog controls/interlocks to protect workers, the public, and environment. The ESF parameters and alarm functions will be integrated into and monitored by the FPC system or BMS. ' The fire protection system will have its own central alarm panel. The fire protection system will report the status of the fire protection equipment to the central alarm station and the RPF control room. This integrated control system will be isolated from safety-related components consistent with IEEE 2 79, Criteria for Protection Systems for Nuclear Power Generating Stations. In addition, the RPF is designed to meet IEEE 603, Standard Criteria for Safety Systems for Nuclear Power Generating Stations, for separation and isolation of safety-related systems and components. Chapter 7.0 provides additional details on the integrated control system. 3-51

Safety NRC = U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. RPF SSCs, including their foundations and supports, designed to remain functional in the event of a DBE are designated as C-1. SSCs designated IROFS are also classified as C-1. SSCs co-located with C-I systems are reviewed and supported in accordance with II over I criteria. This avoids any unacceptable interactions between SSCs. C-1 structures should be designed using dynamic analysis procedures, or when justified, equivalent static procedures using both horizontal and vertical input ground motions. For dynamic analyses, either response spectra or time history analyses approaches may be used. Dynamic analysis should be performed in accordance with the procedures of ASCE 4, with the exception of the damping limitations presented in Section 3 .4 .1. Table 3-25 lists the RPF SSCs and associated safety and seismic classifications and quality level group for the top-level systems. Subsystems within these systems may be identified with lower safety classifications. For example, the standby power supply (UPS) is an IROFS, while the standby diesel generator is classified as safety-related. Table 3-25.

- Safety classification accounts for highest classification in the system. Systems that are classified as safety-related may include both safety-related and non-safety-related components. Only safety-related components will be used to satisfy the safety functions of the system, whereas non-safety-related components can be used to perform non-safety functions. For example, there are non-safety-related components, such as fans, within the safety-related ventilation systems that perform non-safety-related functions.
b Seismic category may be locally revised to account for II over I design criteria and to eliminate potential system degradation due to seismic interactions. c Ventilation zone classifications vary -Ventilation Zone I and II are considered safety-related, C-I and QL-1; Ventilation Zone III and N are considered non-safety-related, C-II and QL-2. IROFS = items relied on for safety. RPF = Radioisotope Production Facility. NSR = non-safety related. SR = safety-related (not IROFS). SSCs that must maintain structural integrity post-DBE, but are not required to remain functional are C-11. All other SSCs that have no specific NRC-regulated requirements are designed to local jurisdictional requirements for structural integrity and are C-III. All C-1 SSCs are analyzed under the loading conditions of the DBE and consider margins of safety appropriate for that earthquake. The margin of safety provided for safety-class SSCs for the DBE are sufficient to ensure that their design functions are not put at risk. Table 3-26 presents the likelihood index limit guidelines and associated event frequency and risk index limits. 3-53

3.5.2.3 Design Basis Functions, Values, and Criteria The design basis for systems and components required for safe operation and shutdown of the RPF are established in three categories, which are described below. The preliminary design basis functions and values for each major system are provided in the following subsections. Design Basis Functions
- License conditions, orders, or technical specifications
- Functions credited in the safety analysis to ensure safe shutdown of the facility is achieved and maintained, prevent potential accidents, or mitigate the potential consequences of accidents that could result in consequences greater than applicable NRC exposure guidelines Design Basis Values
- Values or ranges of values of controlling parameters established as reference bounds for RPF design to meet design basis function requirements
- Values may be established by an NRC requirement, derived from or confirmed by the safety analysis, or selected by the designer from an applicable code, standard, or guidance document Design Basis Criteria
- Code-driven requirements established for the RPF fall into seven categories, including fabrication, construction, operations, testing, inspection, performance, and quality
- Codes include national consensus codes, national standards, and national guidance documents
- Design of safety-related systems (including protection systems) is consistent with IEEE 379, Standard Application ofthe Single-Failure Criterion to Nuclear Power Generating Station Safety Systems, and Regulatory Guide 1.53, Application ofthe Single-Failure Criterion to Nuclear Power Plant Protection Systems
- Protection system is designed to provide two or three channels for each protective systems and functions and two logic train circuits:
Redundant channels and trains will be electrically isolated and physically separated in areas outside of the RPF control room Redundant design will not prevent protective action at the system level 3-54

NORTHV'JEST MEDltAl.ISOTOP!S Chapter 3.0 - Design of Structures, Systems and Components 3.5.2.4 System Functions/Safety Functions The NWMI RPF will provide protection against natural phenomena hazards for the personnel, SNM, and systems within the facility. The facility will also provide protection against operational and accident hazards to personnel and the public. Table 3-2 lists the IROFS defined by the preliminary hazards analysis.
3.5.2.5 Systems and Components 3.5.2.5.1 Mechanical RPF C-1 mechanical equipment and components (identified in Table 3-25) will be qualified for operation under the DBEQ seismic conditions by prototype testing, operating experience, or appropriate analysis. The C-1 mechanical equipment is also designed to withstand loadings due to the DBEQ, vibrational loadings transmitted through piping, and operational vibratory loading, such as floor vibration due to other operating equipment, without loss of function or fluid boundary. This analysis considers the natural frequency of the operating equipment, the floor response spectra at the equipment location, and loadings transmitted to the equipment and the equipment anchorage. The qualification documents and all supporting analysis and test reports will be maintained as part of the permanent plant record in accordance with the requirements of the NWMI QAPP. The safety-related equipment and components within the RPF will be required to function during normal operations and during and following DBEs. This equipment will be capable of functioning in the RPF environmental conditions associated with normal operations and design basis accidents. Certain systems and components used in the ESF systems will be located in a controlled environment. This controlled environment is considered an integral part of the ESF systems. 3.5.2.5.2 Instrumentation and Electrical C-1 instrumentation and electrical equipment (identified in Table 3-25) is designed to resist and withstand the effects of the postulated DBEQ without functional impairment. The equipment will remain operable during and after a DBEQ. The magnitude and frequency of the DBEQ loadings that each component experiences will be determined by its location within the RPF. In-structure response curves at various building elevations have been developed to support design. The equipment (e.g., batteries and instrument racks, control consoles) has test data, operating experience, and/or calculations to substantiate the ability of the components and systems to not suffer loss of function during or after seismic loadings due to the DBEQ. This certification of compliance with the specified seismic requirements, including compliance with the requirements of IEEE 344, is maintained as part of the permanent plant record in accordance with the NWMIQAPP. 3.5.2.6 Qualification Methods Environmental qualification of safety-related mechanical, instrumentation, and electrical systems and components is demonstrated by tests, analysis, or reliance on operating experience. Testing will be the preferred method of qualification. Qualification testing will be accomplished either by tests on the particular equipment or by type tests performed on similar equipment under environmental conditions at least as severe as the specified conditions. The equipment will be qualified for normal and accident environments. Qualification data will be maintained as part of the permanent plant record in accordance with the NWMI QAPP. 3-55
