ify their validity in accordance with the acceptance criteria delineated in Subsection II.4.E of SRP Section 3.8.1. The reviewer verifies that the provisions of Subsection II.4 of this SRP section are met. 5. Structural Acceptance Criteria. The limits on allowable stresses and strains in the concrete, reinforcement, and structural steel and on factors of safety for overturning, sliding, and flotation are compared with the corresponding allowable values specified in Subsection II.5 of this SRP section. If the applicant proposes to deviate from these limits, it should be supported with adequate justification and evaluation. 6. Materials, Quality Control, and Special Construction Techniques. The materials, quality control procedures, and any special construction techniques are compared with those referenced in Subsection II.6 of this SRP section. If a new material not used in previously licensed cases is employed, the applicant is requested to provide sufficient test and user data to establish the acceptability of such a material. Similarly, any new quality control procedures or construction techniques are evaluated in detail to ensure that there will be no degradation of quality that might affect the structural integrity of the foundation. 7. Testing and Inservice Surveillance Programs. For Category I foundations, the reviewer verifies that structure monitoring and maintenance requirements are in accordance with 10 CFR 50.65 and RGs 1.127 and 1.160. Any special design provisions (e.g., providing sufficient physical access, supplying alternative means for identification of conditions in inaccessible areas that can lead to degradation, performing remote visual monitoring of high-radiation areas) to 3.8.5-15 Revision 3 - May 2010 accommodate inservice inspection of Category I foundations are reviewed on a case-by- case basis.
