b. installation and construction testing records

c. nonconformance/deviation record(s)

d. training/qualification records of craft, and quality inspection personnel (as required)

e. configuration management records 69020.H-03 INSPECTION GUIDANCE General Guidance Inspectors should review the facility description in the safety analysis report (SAR) or equivalent and be familiar with the requirements for safety-significant electrical components and systems being installed at the site. The purpose of these as-built inspections is to verify that the assumptions and critical attributes reviewed during the licensing review process remain valid; the design was appropriately translated to construction specifications; the licensee/applicant constructed the facility in accordance with these specifications; and any changes made to the design described in the SAR comply with the licensees configuration management program.

Inspectors should also be familiar with the licensees QAP and use IP 69021, Inspections of Quality Assurance Program Implementation During Construction of Non-Power Production and Utilization Facilities, to perform vertical slice inspections as described in the body of this IP.

Inspectors should complete this appendix by inspecting the attributes listed in this appendix with a focus on safety-related electrical components and systems.

Inspectors should contact the applicant/licensee prior to the onsite inspection to help determine what electrical components and systems s are to be inspected. Observation during in-progress installation of the electrical components and systems is desirable but not required. If necessary, inspectors may select completed electrical components and systems for inspection. Inspectors should not attempt to inspect all electrical components and systems on the site but may expand if significant concerns with the applicant/licensees control of electrical components and systems installation/construction arise. Samples should include components or systems within risk-significant areas of the facility. Samples should include work of different subcontractors and work performed at various times throughout the project.

Issue Date: 03/25/25 3

69020 App H Inspectors should collect applicant/licensee procedures, electrical components and systems specifications, and work completion records in advance, if possible. If unable to review these documents in advance of the on-site inspection, then the licensee should be notified that these documents, and any other relevant documents, should be available when the inspector(s) arrives at the site.

Electrical components and systems consist of those elements of the facility that are designed to supply, use, control, transform, condition, or interrupt electric power. This IP applies, but is not limited, to the following safety-related electrical components and associated items:

(1) raceways; (2) raceway hangers and other supports; (3) switchgear; (4) motor control centers; (5) transformers; (6) batteries and racks; (7) battery chargers; (8) inverters; (9) motor-generator sets; (10) circuit breakers; (11) relays; (12) electrical penetration assemblies; (13) motors; (14) motor operators on valves; (15) electrical-control panels; (16) local cabinets; (17) limit switches; (18) solenoid valves; (19) emergency power system for principal safety-related loads, and (20) other protective devices.

Applicable portions of the licensing basis should be reviewed during inspection preparation.

Determine specific licensee procedural and work instruction commitments relative to construction and inspection requirements for electrical components and systems. The inspectors should then use the above information during the review of the licensees construction specifications, drawings, work, and IPs, to determine if the above requirements are adequately translated into the appropriate documents.

Penetration assemblies, as covered by electrical IPs, refer to assemblies installed in a containment-structure opening (sleeve, nozzle, or barrel) and not to the opening itself. The containment opening is considered to be a part of the containment structure.

Inspectors should choose one or more safety-related electrical components and systems and review the areas listed in Sections 02.01 through 02.04 to the extent practical and may use their judgment in determining which areas to concentrate on if time is limited. However, inspectors should gain an understanding of the applicant/licensees program to the extent necessary to determine if the applicant/licensee conforms to regulatory requirements. Not all items in the inspection requirements section will be applicable or required in all situations for all safety-related structures, systems, and components.

03.01 Inspection Requirement 02.01

a. Review construction specifications related to safety-related electrical components and systems and determine if the specified technical requirements conform to the commitments contained in the licensing basis.
