ions and is usually a combination.of reinforced concrete and structural steel framining. The containment walls and the refueling pool walls may support the floor. The general arrangement and principal features of the operating floor are reviewed. iv. Concrete Supports for Reactor and Recirculation Pump The support systems of the BWR vessel and recirculation pumps have the same functions as the support systems for PWR vessels and pumps are similarly reviewed. v. Reactor Pedestal The reactor pedestal is usually a cylindrical structure located below and supporting the reactor vessel, which is anchored to the top of the pedestal. The general arrangement and principal features of the reactor pedestal are reviewed with emphasis on structural framining, main reinforcement and the manner in which the pedestal is anchored to the containment base slab. vi. Reactor Shield Wall This is usually a cylindrical wall surrounding the reactor vessel for radiation shielding purposes. It is supported on the reactor pedestal. The wall may be lined on both surfaces with steel plates which also may act as the main structural components of the wall. The wall may also be utilized as an anchor for pipe restraints.. The general arrangement and principal features of the wall are reviewed with particular emphasis on structure framing and behavior under loads. vii. Other Interior Structures The other major interior structures constructed of reinforced concrete-or structural steel or combinations thereof that are also reviewed in a similar manner are the floors located inside the drywell and in the annulus between the drywell and the 3.8.3-5 Rev. 1 - July 1981 containment, and the polar crane supporting elements. The general arrangement and principal features of these structures are reviewed. 2. Applicable Codes, Standards, and Specifications The information pertaining to design codes, standards, specifications, and regulatory guides, and other industry standards that are applied in the design,
