tion of the effects of expected natural phenomena combined with the appropriate effects of normal and accident conditions. The stresses and stress limits (computed in accordance with the provisions of the Code) are evaluated for acceptance by the staff, to ensure that equipment is designed to withstand these conditions without loss of capability to perform their intended functions. This guidance is designed to comply with GDC 2. Meeting the requirements of GDC 2 provides reasonable assurance that components and structures important to safety are capable of performing their intended safety functions. 4. GDC 4 requires, in part, that the nuclear power plant structures and components important to safety be designed to accommodate the effects of, and to be compatible with the environmental conditions associated with normal operation, maintenance, testing, and postulated accidents, including LOCA. SRP Section 3.9.3 provides guidance for the staff's review of the subject components and structures which are important to safety. This guidance includes consideration of loading effects and the resulting stresses (computed in accordance with the Code) associated with normal operation, maintenance, testing, and postulated accidents, including LOCA. This guidance is designed to comply with GDC 4. Meeting the requirements of GDC 4 provides reasonable assurance that components and structures important to safety are capable of performing their intended safety functions.
