Content:
e Shutdown Earthquake (SSE), site dependent free field ground motion records, soil properties, etc., as an integral part of the seismic analysis review of Category I structures. The review for Quality Assurance is coordinated and performed by the Quality Assurance Branch as part of its primary review responsiblity for SRP Section 17.0. For those areas of review identified above as being reviewed as part of the primary review responsibility of other branches, the acceptance criteria necessary for the review and their methods of application are contained in the referenced SRP section of the corresponding primary branch. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA SEB acceptance criteria for the design of seismic Category I foundations are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following regulations: A. 10 CFR Part 50, K50.55a and General Design Criterion 1 as they relate to safety-related structures being designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed. B. General Design Criterion 2 (Ref. 3) as it relates to appropriate considerations being given to the most severe of the natural phenomena that have been historically reported for the site and surrounding area, with sufficient margin for the limited accuracy, quantity, and period of time in which the historical data have been accumulated, and to the combinations of the effects of normal and accident conditions with the effects of the natural phenomena. C. General Design Criterion 4 (Ref. 4) as it relates to structures, systems, and components important to safety being appropriately protected against dynamic effects, including the effects of missiles, pipe whipping, and discharging fluids, that may result from equipment failures and from events and conditions outside the nuclear power unit. D. General Design Criterion 5 (Ref. 5) as it relates to structures, systems, and components important to safety not being shared among nuclear power units
