REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Structural Engineering Branch (SEB) Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The following areas relating to concrete containments or to concrete portions of steel/concrete containments, as applicable, are reviewed. 1. Description of the Containment The descriptive information, including plans and sections of the structure, is reviewed to establish that sufficient information is provided to define the primary structural aspects and elements relied upon to perform the containment function. In particular, the type of concrete containment is identified and its structural and functional characteristics are examined. Among the various types of concrete containments reviewed are: a. Reinforced and prestressed concrete BWR containments utilizing the pressure-suppression concept, including the Mark I (modified lightbulb/ torus), the Mark II (over/under), and the Mark III (with horizontal venting between a centrally located cylindrical drywell and a surrounding suppression pool). b. Reinforced concrete PWR containments utilizing the pressure-suppression concept with ice-condenser elements. C. Reinforced concrete PWR containments designed to function under sub- atmospheric conditions. d. Reinforced and prestressed concrete PWR dry containments designed to - function at atmospheric conditions. Rev. 1 - July 1981 USNRC STANDARD REVIEW PLAN Standard review plans are prepared for the guidance of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the review of applications to construct and operate nuclear power plants. These documents are made available to the public as part of the Commission's policy to inform the nuclear Industry and the general public of regulatory procedures and policies. Standard review plans are not substitutes for regulatory guides or the Commission's regulations and compliance with them Is not required. The standard review plan sections are keyed to the Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for
