d the combinations of the effects of normal and accident condition with the effects of environmental loadings such as earthquakes and other natural phenomena. 3. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 4 by assuring that the design of the concrete containment is capable of withstanding the dynamic effects associated with missiles, pipe whipping, and discharging fluids. 4. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 16 by designing the concrete containment so that it is an essentially leaktight barrier to prevent the uncontrolled release of radioactive effluents to the environment. 5. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 50 by designing the concrete containment to accommodate, with sufficient margin, the design leakage rate, calculated pressure and temperature conditions resulting from accident conditions, and by assuring that the design conditions are not exceeded during the full course of the accident condition. In meeting these design requirements, the applicant has used the recommendations of Regulatory Guides and industry standards indicated below. The applicat has also performed appropriate analysis which demon- strates that the ultimate capacity of the containment will not be exceeded and establishes the minimum margin of safety for the design. The criteria used in the analysis, design, and construction of the concrete containment structure to account for anticipated loadings and postulated conditions that may be imposed upon the structure during its service lifetime are in conformance with established criteria, and with codes, standards, guides, and specifications acceptable to the Regulatory staff. These include meeting the positions of Regulatory Guides 1.10, 1.15, 1.18, 1.19, 1.35, 1.55, 1.90, 1.94, 1.103, 1.107, 1.136 and industry standard ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, Division 2. The use of these criteria as defined by applicable codes, standards, guides, and specifications; the loads and loading combinations, the
