Content:
d 1.136, respectively; and ANSI/AISC N690-1994 including Supplement 2 (2004) contain criteria for concrete and steel structures. Meeting these requirements and criteria provide assurance that the SSCs described herein will perform their safety function and limit the release of radioactive materials. 2. Compliance with GDC 1 requires that (1) SSCs important to safety be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested in accordance with quality standards commensurate with the importance of their safety function, (2) a quality assurance program be established and implemented, and (3) sufficient and appropriate records be maintained. When generally recognized codes and standards are used, they shall be identified and evaluated to determine their applicability, adequacy, and sufficiency and shall be supplemented or modified as necessary to assure a quality product in keeping with the required safety function. SRP Section 3.8.3 provides guidance related to static and dynamic loadings and evaluation criteria for containment internal structures. It also describes acceptable materials, design methodology, quality control procedures, construction methods, and inservice inspections, as well as documentation criteria for design and construction controls. 3.8.3-29 Revision 2 - March 2007 SRP Section 3.8.3 cites ACI 349; ASME Code Section III, Division 1, Subsection NE, and ASME Code, Section III, Division 2, Subsection CC, with additional guidance provided by RG 1.57 and 1.136, respectively; ANSI/AISC N690-1994 including Supplement 2 (2004); and regulatory guidance describing design methodology, materials testing, and construction techniques that are commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed. Conformance with these requirements imposes specific restrictions to ensure that containment internal structures will perform acceptably, commensurate with their intended safety function, when designed in accordance with the above standards. Meeting these
