Qualification of nuclear power plant safety equipment for accident conditions continues to be a major regulatory program and a subject of substantial concern for power plant licensees. While environmental electrical equipment qualification (EQ) has tended to gather the most attention in recent years, seismic qualification is now an issue on the ascent, particularly for older plants. Developments in three areas of current interest are reviewed in this paper: (1) inspection and enforcement trends in the EQ program, (2) extension of leak-before-break (LBB) technology to EQ, and (3) seismic reverification of operating plants (unresolved safety issue (USI) A-46).
