Content:
metric and localized loads B. Treatment of local buckling effects C. Computer programs used in the design and analysis D. Ultimate capacity of steel containment E. Structural audit F. Design report 5. Structural Acceptance Criteria. The design limits imposed on the various parameters that serve to quantify the structural behavior of the containment, specifically with respect to allowable stresses, strains, and gross deformations, and emphasizing the extent of compliance with ASME Code, Section III, Division 1, Subsection NE, and RG 1.57 are 3.8.2-6 Revision 2 - March 2007 reviewed. For each specified load combination, the reviewer will compare the proposed allowable limits with the acceptable limits delineated in Subsection II.5 of this SRP section. These allowable limits include the following major parameters: A. Primary stresses, including limits on general membrane stress (Pm); local membrane stress (PL); and primary bending stress (Pb) plus local membrane stress (PL) B. Primary stress (PL+Pb) plus secondary stress (Q) C. Primary stress (PL+Pb) plus secondary stress (Q) plus peak stress (F) D. Buckling criteria 6. Materials, Quality Control, and Special Construction Techniques A. The information provided on the materials to be used in the construction of the steel containment, with emphasis on the extent of compliance with Article NE-2000 of ASME Code, Section III, Division 1, Subsection NE are reviewed. The major materials reviewed include the following: i. Steel plates used as shell components ii. Structural steel shapes used for stiffeners, beam seats, and crane brackets B. The quality control program proposed for the fabrication and construction of the containment with emphasis on the extent of compliance with Articles NE-2000, NE-4000, and NE-5000 of ASME Code, Section III, Division 1, Subsection NE, are reviewed including the following: i. Nondestructive examination of the materials, including tests to determine their physical properties ii. Welding
