ntial shear strength provided by orthogonal reinforcement should be limited to the following: (MPa); [10 (psi)] 0833 . 'f c f c' where the value of is in units of MPa and psi in the first and second f c' expression, respectively, in accordance with the ASME Code. For prestressed concrete containments, the principal tensile stress should not exceed the following: (MPa) [4 (psi)] 1 3 f c' f c' where the value of is in units of MPa and psi in the first and second f c' expression, respectively, in accordance with the ASME Code. B. For the liner plate and its anchorage system, the specified limits for stresses and strains are acceptable if in accordance with Tables CC-3720-1 and CC-3730-1 of the ASME Code, respectively. 6. Materials, Quality Control, and Special Construction Techniques A. The specified materials of construction are acceptable if found to be in accordance with Article CC-2000 of the ASME Code with additional guidance provided by RG 1.107 and 1.136. B. Quality control programs are acceptable if found to be in accordance with applicable portions of Articles CC-4000 and CC-5000 of the ASME Code with additional guidance provided by RG 1.136 for quality assurance requirements. C. Special construction techniques, if any, are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. 7. Testing and Inservice Surveillance Requirements A. Procedures for the postconstruction, preoperational structural proof test proposed for the containment are acceptable if found in accordance with those delineated in Article CC-6000 of the ASME Code. B. For reinforced and prestressed concrete containments, 10 CFR 50.55a imposes the examination requirements of Section XI, Subsections IWL and IWE, of the ASME Code. These subsections provide preservice examination, inservice inspection, and repair/replacement requirements, and acceptance criteria. The scope of Subsection IWL includes the concrete and unbonded posttensioning systems. Subsection IWE covers examination requirements for steel liners of concrete
