e 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 ensuring that the design conditions are not exceeded 74 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 applicant has also performed appropriate analysis which demonstrates that the ultimate capacity of the containment will not be exceeded and establishes the minimum margin of safety for the design. 6. The applicant has met the requirements of 10 CFR 50.34 by designing the plant (a) to accommodate hydrogen generation equivalent to 100% metal-water reaction of the fuel cladding and loads associated with hydrogen burning and/or inerting system actuation. 75 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, 1.35.1, 1.55, 1.90, 1.94, 1.103, 1.107, 1.136, and industry 76 77 78 79 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
