ak-before-break analyses) demonstrate the probability of rupture is extremely low. For containment design, the applicability of these analyses is limited to localized effects only. The EMCB performs a review of those applications that propose to eliminate consideration of design loads associated with the dynamic effects of pipe rupture, as part of its primary review responsibility for SRP Section 3.6.3 (to be developed).31 G. Any inservice surveillance required in special areas subject to corrosion is reviewed by the Chemical Engineering EMCB.32 H. The SCSB verifies that containment performance meets severe accident criteria as part of its primary review responsibility for SRP Section 19.2 (proposed).33 For those areas of review identified above as being reviewed as part of the primary review responsibility of other branches, the acceptance criteria necessary for the review and their methods of application are contained in the referenced SRP section of the corresponding primary branch.34 II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA SEBECGB acceptance criteria for the design of steel containments are based on meeting the 35 relevant requirements of the following regulations: 1A. 10 CFR Part 50, 50.34(f)(3) , 10 CFR 50.55a, and General Design Criterion 1 as they 36 37 38 relate to steel containments being designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed. 2B. General Design Criterion 2 as it relates to the design of the steel containments being capable of withstanding the most severe natural phenomena such as winds, tornadoes, floods, and earthquakes and the appropriate combination of all loads. 3C. General Design Criterion 4 as it relates to steel containments being capable of withstanding the dynamic effects of equipment failures including missiles pipe whip and blowdown loads associated with the loss-of-coolant accident. 4D. General Design Criterion 16 as it relates to the capability of the steel
