ctors 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. 3.8.5-15 Revision 2 - March 2007 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 RG 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 accommodate inservice inspection of Category I foundations are reviewed on a case-by- case basis. For the containment foundation, testing and inservice surveillance programs are also reviewed in accordance with Subsection II.7 of SRP Section 3.8.1 for concrete containments.
