s of Subsection NG of the ASME Code, Section III. 2. The applicant has met the requirements of GDCs 2, 4, and 10 with respect to 43 designing components important to safety to withstand the effects of earthquakes and the effects of normal operation, maintenance, testing, and 44 postulated loss-of-coolant accidents (including LOCAs) with sufficient margin to assure that capability to perform itstheir safety functions is maintained and the 45 specified acceptable fuel design limits are not exceeded. The applicant has also designed the reactor internals with appropriate margin to assure that specified acceptable fuel design limits are not exceeded during any condition of normal operation, including the effects of anticipated operational occurrences.46 The specified design transients, design and service loadings, and combination of loadings as applied to the design of the reactor internals structures and components provide reasonable assurance that in the event of an earthquake or of a system transient during normal plant operation, the resulting deflections and associated stresses imposed on these structures and components would not exceed allowable stresses and deformation limits for the materials of construction. Limiting the stresses and deformations under such loading combinations provides an acceptable basis for the design of these structures and components to withstand DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 3.9.5-8 the most adverse loading events which have been postulated to occur during service lifetime without loss of structural integrity or impairment of function. For design certification reviews, the findings will also summarize, to the extent that the review is not discussed in other safety evaluation report sections, the staff's evaluation of inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC), including design acceptance criteria (DAC), site interface requirements, and combined license action items that are relevant to this SRP Section.47 V.
