Abstract
In this paper, the regulations and technical standards related to qualification of safety grade equipment in nuclear power plants are critically reviewed with the qualification procedure in terms of structures, systems, and equipment in nuclear power plants. These facilities should be designed and constructed to protect from natural conditions or disasters and to perform their safety functions even in case of postulated accidents. Equipment Qualification is to demonstrate that the safety related equipment is designed and constructed to perform their safety functions under normal and accident conditions. It is classified into environmental qualification and seismic qualification.
