Краткое содержание

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public comment draft regulatory guide (DG), DG-1338, "Qualification of Safety-Related Vented Lead-Acid Storage Batteries for Nuclear Power Plants." DG-1338 is proposed revision 1 of regulatory guide (RG) 1.158, "Qualification of Safety-Related Lead Storage Batteries for Nuclear Power Plants" dated February 1989. DG-1338 endorses (with clarifying regulatory positions) the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard (Std.) 535-2013, "IEEE Standard for Qualification of Class 1E Vented Lead Acid Storage Batteries for Nuclear Power Generating Stations." IEEE 535-2013 contains procedures for qualifying batteries with duty cycles of less than 8 hours and batteries with duty cycles longer than 8 hours.
