Content:
e examination of the materials, including tests to determine their physical properties. (ii) Welding procedures. (iii) Erection tolerances. Special contruction techniques, If proposed, are reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine their effects on the structural integrity of the completed containment. 7. Testing and Inservice Surveillance Program The preoperational structural test programs for the completed containment and for individual class MC components reviewed, including the objectives of the test, and the acceptance criteria with emphasis on the extent of compliance with Article NE-6000 of Subsection NE of the Code, Section III, Division 1. Structural tests for components such as personnel and equipment locks are also reviewed. Inservice surveillance programs, If any, of components relied upon for containment structural integrity, are reviewed. Any inservice surveillance 3.8.2-5 Rev. I - July 1981 required in special areas subject to corrosion is reviewed by the Chemical Engineering Branch. Special testing and inservice surveillance requirements proposed for new or previously untried design approaches are reviewed. SEB coordinates other branches evaluations that interface with structural engineering aspects of the review as follows: Determination of structures which are subject to quality assurance program in accordance with the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 is performed by the Mechanical Engineering Branch (MEB) as part of its primary review responsibility for SRP Sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2. SEB will perform its review of safety-related structures on that basis. Determination of pressure loads from high-energy lines located in safety-related structures other than containment is per- formed by the Auxiliary Systems Branch (ASB) as part of its primary described review responsiblity for SRP Section 3.6.1. SEB accepts the loads thus generated as approved by the ASB, to be included in the load combination equations of this SRP section.
