CFR Title: 

Content:
able to withstand the loads resulting from pressure and temperature conditions caused by any LOCA and will perform its design safety function. 6. Compliance with Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 requires that applicants establish and maintain a quality assurance program for the design, construction, and operation of SSCs. SRP Section 3.8.1 provides guidance specifically related to design, construction, testing and inservice surveillance of concrete containments. Subsection II.2 of this SRP section cites the ASME Code, Section III, Division 2, Subsection CC, and Section XI, Subsections IWL and IWE, with additional guidance provided by RG 1.35, 1.35.1, 1.107, and 1.136 to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. Meeting these requirements and criteria provide added assurance that structures covered in this SRP section will meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B and thus perform their intended safety function. 7. Compliance with 10 CFR 50.34(f)(3)(v)(A) and (B) requires that the containments for specific plants be capable of resisting loads associated with hydrogen generation equivalent to 100-percent metal-water reaction of the fuel cladding, accompanied by hydrogen burning or the added pressure of inerting system actuation. At a minimum, 10 CFR 50.34(f)(3)(v)(A)(1) requires that containment structures should be designed to withstand a combined dead load and internal pressure of 310 kPa (45 psig). SRP Section 3.8.1 provides load combinations and acceptance criteria based on the specific provisions of 10 CFR 50.34(f)(3)(v)(A) and (B). Meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 50.34, specifically 10 CFR 50.34(f)(3)(v)(A) and (B), provides assurance that the containment will be able to withstand loads from the sources specified above and will perform its intended safety function. 8. Compliance with 10 CFR 50.44 requires that containments accommodate loadings associated with combustible gas generated from a metal-water reaction of the fuel cladding. SRP
