egulatory guides or the Commission's regulations and compliance with them Is not required. The standard review plan sections are keyed to the Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants. Not all sections of the Standard Format have a corresponding review plan. Published standard review plans ivli be revised periodically, as appropriate, to accommodate comments and to reflect new Informa- tion and experience. Comments and suggestions for Improvement will be considered and should be sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. Washington, D.C. e. Reinforced and prestressed concrete PWR or BWR containments utilizing special features or modifications of the above-listed types. Various geometries have been utilized for these containments. The geometry most commonly encountered is an upright cylinder topped with a dome and sup- ported on a flat concrete base mat. Although applicable to any geometry, the specific provisions of this SRP section are best suited to the cylindrical type containment topped by a dome. If containments with other types of geometry are reviewed, the necessary modifications to this SRP section are made on a case-by-case basis. The geometry of the containment is reviewed, including sketches showing plan views at various elevations and sections in at least two orthogonal directions. The arrangement of the containment and the relationship and interaction of the shell with its surrounding structures and with its interior compartment walls and floors are reviewed to determine the effect which these structures could have upon the design boundary conditions and expected structural behavior of the containment when subjected to design loads. General information related to the containment shell is reviewed including the following: a. The base foundation slab, including the main reinforcement; the floor liner plate and its anchorage and stiffening system; the methods by which the
