REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Organization responsible for structural analysis reviews Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The following areas are related to the design of structures that must withstand the effects of the specified design wind speed for the plant. These areas are reviewed to ensure conformance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion (GDC) 2. The specific areas of review are as follows: 1. The design wind speed, its recurrence interval, the speed variation with height, and the applicable gust factors from the standpoint of use in defining the input parameters for the structural design criteria appropriate to account for wind loadings. 2. The procedures that are used to transform the design wind speed into an equivalent pressure applied to structures are reviewed taking into consideration the geometrical configuration and physical characteristics of the structures and the distribution of wind pressure on the structures. 3.3.1-2 Revision 3 - March 2007 3. Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC). For design certification (DC) and combined license (COL) reviews, the staff reviews the applicant's proposed ITAAC associated with the structures, systems, and components (SSCs) related to this SRP section in accordance with SRP Section 14.3, "Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria." The staff recognizes that the review of ITAAC cannot be completed until after the rest of this portion of the application has been reviewed against acceptance criteria contained in this SRP section. Furthermore, the staff reviews the ITAAC to ensure that all SSCs in this area of review are identified and addressed as appropriate in accordance with SRP Section 14.3. 4. COL Action Items and Certification Requirements and Restrictions. For a DC application, the review will also address COL action items and requirements and restrictions (e.g., interface requirements and site parameters). For a COL application referencing a DC, a COL
