Full Description

Scope

This standard provides design and operational criteria for the performance of periodic testing as part of the surveillance program of nuclear power generating station safety systems. The scope of periodic testing consists of functional tests and checks, calibration verification and time response measurements, as required, to verify that the safety system performs to meet its defined safety function. The system status, associated system documentation, test intervals, and test procedures during operation are also addressed. Maintenance is not covered by this document. This standard amplifies the periodic surveillance testing requirements of ANSI/IEEE Std 603-1980 and ANSI/IEEE Std 308-1980 .

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Superseded.Design and operational criteria are provided for the performance of periodic testing as part of the surveillance program of nuclear power generating station safety systems. Such testing consists of functional tests and checks, calibration verification, and time-response measurements, as required, to verify that the safety system performs to meet its defined safety function. The system status, associated system documentation, test intervals, and test procedures during operation are also addressed.
