inclusion in the load combinations in this SRP section. 5. The organization responsible for quality assurance performs reviews of design, construction, and operations phase quality assurance programs under SRP Chapter 17. In addition, while conducting regulatory audits in accordance with Office Instruction NRR-LIC-111 or NRO-REG-108, “Regulatory Audits,” the technical staff may identify quality-related issues. If this occurs, the technical staff should contact the organization responsible for quality assurance to determine if an inspection should be conducted. 6. Determination that the containment performance meets severe accident criteria is performed in accordance with guidance provided in Chapter 19. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Requirements Acceptance criteria are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following Commission regulations: 1. 10 CFR 50.55a and GDC 1, as they relate to concrete containment being designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed. 2. GDC 2, as it relates to the design of the concrete containment being able to withstand the most severe natural phenomena such as winds, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes and the appropriate combination of all loads. 3. GDC 4, as it relates to the concrete containment 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. 4. GDC 16, as it relates to the capability of the concrete containment to act as a leak-tight membrane to prevent the uncontrolled release of radioactive effluents to the environment. 3.8.1-9 Revision 4 - September 2013 5. GDC 50, as it relates to the concrete containment being designed with sufficient margin of safety to accommodate appropriate design loads. 6. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B as it relates to the
