Book ·
OSTI ID:6768399

Criterion III, Design Control, of Appendix B, Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants, to 10 CFR Part 50 includes a requirement that measures be provided for verifying or checking the adequacy of design by design reviews, by the use of alternative or simplified calculational methods, or by the performance of a suitable testing program. Diesel-generator units have been widely used as the power source for the onsite electric power systems. This regulatory guide describes a method acceptable to the NRC staff for complying with the Commission's requirements that diesel-generator units intended for use as onsite power sources in nuclear power plants be selected with sufficient capacity and be qualified for this service.
