rs and splices C. Prestressing system D. Liner plate E. Liner plate anchors and associated hardware F. Structural steel used for embedments such as beam seats and crane brackets G. Corrosion-retarding compounds used for the prestressing tendons The staff reviews the quality control program that is proposed for the fabrication and construction of the containment with emphasis on the extent of compliance with Articles CC-4000 and CC-5000 of the ASME Code, with additional guidance provided by RG 1.136 (see Subsection II.3 of this SRP section). This includes examination of the materials, as well as tests to determine the physical properties of concrete, reinforcing steel, mechanical splices, the liner plate and its anchors, and the prestressing system, if any; placement of concrete; and erection tolerances of the liner plate, reinforcement, and prestressing systems. The review covers any special, new, or unique construction techniques, such as slip forming, on a case-by-case basis to determine their effects on the structural integrity of the completed containment. 7. Testing and Inservice Surveillance Requirements. For concrete containments, it is important to accommodate inservice inspection of critical areas. The review includes any special design provisions (e.g., providing sufficient physical access, providing alternative means for identification of conditions in inaccessible areas that can lead to 3.8.1-7 Revision 4 - September 2013 degradation, or providing remote visual monitoring of high-radiation areas) to accommodate inservice inspection of concrete containments. 8. The review covers the preoperational structural testing program for the completed containment and for individual components, such as personnel and equipment locks and hatches, and includes the objectives of the test program and acceptance criteria, with emphasis on the extent of compliance with Article CC-3000 of the ASME Code. The review also includes inservice surveillance programs, such as the
