SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NUREG-1946, ``Inservice Testing of Pumps and
Valves, and Inservice Examination and Testing of Dynamic Restraints
(Snubbers) at Nuclear Power Plants, Draft Report for Comment'' provides
updated information on applicable regulations for testing of pumps and
valves. The information in NUREG-1482, ``Guidelines for Inservice
Testing at Nuclear Plants,'' Revision 0, issued April 1995, and
Revision 1, issued January 2005, has described these topics in the
past. This NUREG report replaces Revision 0 and Revision 1 of NUREG-
1482, and is applicable, unless stated otherwise, to all editions and
addenda of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code of
Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (OM Code), which
Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.55a(b)
incorporates by reference. NUREG-1946 also includes information related
to inservice examination and testing of dynamic restraints (snubbers).
In addition, the NUREG discusses other inservice test program topics
such as the NRC process for review of the OM Code, conditions on the
use of the OM Code, and interpretations of the OM Code.
