CFR Title: 

Content:
ance criteria; the materials, quality control programs, and special construction techniques; and the testing and inservice surveillance requirements, provide reasonable assurance that, in the event of earthquakes and various postulated accidents occurring within and outside the containment, the structure will withstand the specified conditions without impairment of its structural integrity or safety function. A Category I concrete shield building protects the steel containment from the effects of wind and tornados and various postulated accidents occurring outside the shield building, and/or the steel containment has been evaluated for and will withstand the effects of wind and tornados and various postulated accidents occurring outside the containment that induce loading, either directly or indirectly, on the steel containment (e.g., as for AP600, AP1000). For DC and COL reviews, the findings will also summarize the staff=s evaluation of requirements and restrictions (e.g., interface requirements and site parameters) and COL action items relevant to this SRP section. In addition, to the extent that the review is not discussed in other SER sections, the findings will summarize the staff's evaluation of the ITAAC, including design acceptance criteria, as applicable. V. IMPLEMENTATION The staff will use this SRP section in performing safety evaluations of DC applications and license applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50 or 10 CFR Part 52. Except when the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission=s regulations, the staff will use the method described herein to evaluate conformance with Commission regulations. The provisions of this SRP section apply to reviews of applications submitted 6 months or more after the date of issuance of this SRP section, unless superseded by a later revision. The referenced RGs contain the implementation schedules for conformance to parts of the
