materials due to corrosion. 2. To meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, and GDC 1, a list of computer programs to be used in dynamic and static analyses to determine the structural and functional integrity of seismic Category I Code and non-Code items and the analyses to determine stresses should be provided. For each program the following information should be provided to demonstrate applicability and validity: 3.9.1-5 Revision 3 - March 2007 A. The author, source, dated version, and facility. B. A description and the extent and limitation of its application. C. The computer program solutions to a series of test problems demonstrated to be substantially similar to solutions obtained from any one of sources (i) through (iv) and source (v): (i) Hand calculations (ii) Analytical results published in relevant engineering literature (iii) Acceptable experimental tests (iv) Results from a similar program within the acceptable margins. (v) The benchmark problems prescribed in NUREG/CR-1677, “Piping Benchmark Problems.” Vols. I and II. A summary comparison of the solution obtained from sources (i) through (iv) should be provided in either graphical or numerical form. For source (v), the complete computer printout of the input and the solution should be submitted for every benchmark problem. These solutions may be referenced, and need not be resubmitted, in subsequent license applications, provided the information submitted under Items A and B remains unchanged. 3. To meet the requirements of GDCs 1, 14, and 15, if experimental stress analysis methods are used in lieu of analytical methods for any seismic Category I Code or non-Code items, the section of the SAR addressing the experimental stress analysis methods is acceptable if the information meets the provisions of Appendix II to ASME Code, Section III, Division 1 and, as in the case of analytical methods, if the information is sufficiently detailed to show the design meeting the provisions of the
