her natural phenomena. 3. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 4 by ensuring that the designs of Seismic Category I foundations are capable of withstanding the dynamic effects associated with missiles, pipe whipping, and discharging fluids. 3.8.5-20 Draft Revision 4 - December 2012 4. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 5 by demonstrating that SSCs are not shared between units or that, if shared, they have demonstrated that sharing will not impair their ability to perform their intended safety functions. 5. The applicant has met the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B because the quality assurance program provides adequate measures for implementing guidelines relating to structural design. 6. The criteria used in the analysis, design, and construction of all plant Seismic Category I foundations to account for anticipated loadings and postulated conditions that may be imposed upon each foundation during its service lifetime are in conformance with established criteria, codes, standards, and specifications acceptable to the NRC staff. These include meeting the positions of RG and industry standards listed in Subsection II.2 of SRP Section 3.8.1 for containment foundations and Subsection II.2 of SRP Section 3.8.4 for other Seismic Category I foundations. 7. The use of these criteria as defined by applicable codes, standards, and specifications; the loads and loading combinations; the design and analysis procedures; the structural acceptance criteria; the materials, quality control, and special construction techniques; and the testing and inservice surveillance requirements provide reasonable assurance that, in the event of winds, tornadoes, earthquakes, and various postulated events, Seismic Category I foundations will withstand the specified design conditions without impairment of structural integrity and stability or the performance of required safety functions. In addition to the above, the staff also concludes that the design of the
