Content:
is an upright cylinder topped with a dome and supported on a flat concrete base mat. Although applicable to any geometry, the specific provisions of this SRP section are best suited to the cylindrical type containment topped by a dome. If containments with other types of geometry are reviewed, the necessary modifications to deviations from this SRP section are made on a case-by-case basis. 5 The geometry of the containment is reviewed, including sketches showing plan views at various elevations and sections in at least two orthogonal directions. The arrangement of the containment and the relationship and interaction of the shell with its surrounding structures and with its interior compartment walls and floors are reviewed to determine the effect which these structures could have upon the design boundary conditions and expected structural behavior of the containment when subjected to design loads. General information related to the containment shell is reviewed, including the following: a. The base foundation slab, including the main reinforcement; the floor liner plate and its anchorage and stiffening system; and the methods by which the interior 6 structures are anchored through the liner plate and into the slab, if applicable. b. The cylindrical wall, including the main reinforcement and prestressing tendons, if any; the wall liner plate and its anchorage and stiffening system; the major penetrations and the reinforcement surrounding them, including the personnel and equipment hatches and major pipe penetrations; major structural attachments to the wall which penetrate the liner plate such as beam seats, pipe restraints, and crane brackets; and external supports, if any, attached to the wall to support external structures such as enclosure buildings. c. The dome and the ring girder, if any, including the main reinforcement and prestressing tendons; the liner plate and its anchorage and stiffening systems; and any major attachments to the liner plate made from the
