onstructed and will operate in conformity with the combined license, the provisions of the AEA, and the NRC regulations. SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC’s regulations identified above are as follows for the review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC’s regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for its facility and the SRP acceptance criteria and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC regulations. 1. Description of the Foundation. The descriptive information in the Safety Analysis Report (SAR) is acceptable if it meets the criteria in Section 3.8.5.1 of RG 1.206. New or unique design features that are not specifically covered in RG 1.206 or RG 1.70 may require a more detailed review. The reviewer determines the additional information that may be needed to accomplish a meaningful review of the structural aspects of such new or unique features. RG 1.206 provides the basis for evaluating the description of structures to be included in a DC or a COL application. RG 1.70 provides guidance for information to be submitted with an application for construction permit (CP) or operating license (OL). 2. Applicable Codes, Standards, and Specifications. The design, materials, fabrication, erection, inspection, testing, and surveillance, if any, of Seismic Category I foundations are covered by codes, standards, and guides that apply either in their entirety or in part. Subsection II.2 of SRP Section 3.8.4 includes a list of such documents. In addition, the documents listed in Subsection II.2 of SRP Section 3.8.1 are acceptable for the containment foundation. 3.8.5-8 Draft Revision 4 - December 2012 3. Loads and Load Combinations.
