t 2 (2004), and RGs 1.127 and 1.160, to satisfy the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. Meeting these requirements provides additional assurance that the foundations of structures other than containment covered in this SRP section will meet the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and thus perform their intended safety functions. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. 1. Description of the Foundations. After the type of foundation and its structural characteristics are identified, information on similar and previously licensed plants is obtained for reference. Such information, which is available in SARs and amendments to previous license applications, enables the identification of differences for the case 3.8.5-18 Draft Revision 4 - December 2012 under review. These differences require additional scrutiny and evaluation. New and unique features that have not been used in the past are examined in greater detail. The reviewer evaluates the information furnished in the SAR for completeness in accordance with RG 1.70 for a CP or an OL (for applications submitted in accordance with 10 CFR Part 50) or RG 1.206 for a DC or a COL (for application submitted in accordance with 10 CFR Part 52). 2. Applicable Codes, Standards, and Specifications. The list of codes, standards, guides, and specifications is compared with the list referenced in Subsection II.2 of this SRP section. The reviewer verifies that the appropriate code or guide is used and that the applicable edition and stated effective addenda are acceptable. 3. Loads and Load Combinations.
