The loads thus generated are accepted for inclusion in the load combination equations of this SRP section. 3. The determination of loads generated by pressure under accident conditions is performed in accordance with SRP Section 6.2.1. The loads thus generated are accepted for inclusion in the load combinations in this SRP section. 4. The organization responsible for quality assurance performs the reviews of design, construction, and operation 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, then the technical staff should contact the organization responsible for quality assurance to determine if an inspection should be conducted. 5. The exclusion of postulated pipe ruptures from the design basis is generally referred to as the leak before break. The review of those applications that propose to eliminate consideration of design loads associated with the dynamic effects of pipe rupture is performed in accordance with SRP Section 3.6.3. 3.8.2-8 Revision 3 - May 2010 6. The reviews of containment performance and the satisfaction of severe accident criteria are performed in accordance with SRP Section 19.0. The specific acceptance criteria and review procedures are contained in the referenced SRP sections. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Requirements Acceptance criteria are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following Commission regulations: 1. 10 CFR 50.55a and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion (GDC) 1 as they relate to designing, fabricating, erecting, testing, and inspecting steel containments to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed 2. GDC 2, as it relates to designing steel containments to be capable of withstanding the most severe natural phenomena such as winds, tornados,
