P Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the Commission's regulations identified above are as follows for the review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the Commission's regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between this SRP section and the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for the facility, and discussing how the proposed alternatives provide acceptable methods of complying with the regulations that underlie the SRP acceptance criteria. 1. Description of the Containment. The descriptive information in the Safety Analysis Report (SAR) is considered acceptable if it meets the criteria set forth in Section 3.8.1.1 of RG 1.206. If the concrete containment has new or unique features that are not specifically covered in RG 1.206, the reviewer determines whether the information necessary to accomplish a meaningful review of the structural aspects of these new or unique features is presented. 3.8.1-10 Revision 4 - September 2013 RG 1.206 provides the basis for evaluating the description of seismic Category I 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 inservice surveillance of concrete containments are covered by codes, standards, specifications, and guides that are applicable either in their entirety or in part. The following codes and guides are acceptable: Codes Title ASME Code Section III, Division 2, Subsection CC, “Code for Concrete Reactor Vessels and Containments” ASME Code Section XI, Subsection IWL, “Requirements for Class CC Concrete Components of Light-Water Cooled Plants” ASME Code Section
