Content:
lculated pressure and temperature conditions resulting from any LOCA. SRP Section 3.8.3 provides detailed acceptance criteria and cites appropriate regulatory guidance for design methodology, material testing, and construction techniques that is acceptable to the staff. GDC 50 requires that the internal structures of the containment be designed to withstand the effects of natural phenomena combined with those of normal and accident conditions, including LOCA loads, without loss of capability to perform their safety function. The load combinations and specifications cited in this SRP section provide acceptable engineering criteria to accomplish that function. Meeting these requirements provides assurance that the internal structures of the containment will perform their intended safety function with sufficient margin when subjected to LOCA loads in combination with other applicable loads.134 III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer selects and emphasizes material from the review procedures described below as may be appropriate for a particular case. 1. Description of the Internal Structures After each structure and its functional characteristics are identified, information or on135 similar structures of previously licensed applications is obtained for reference. Such information, which is available in safety analysis reports and amendments of licensed plants, enables identification of differences for the case under review which require additional scrutiny. New or unique features that have not been used in the past are of particular interest. The information furnished in the SAR is reviewed for sufficiency in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.70the "Standard Format. . .". A decision is then 136 made with regard to the sufficiency of the descriptive information provided in the SAR. DRAFT Rev. 2 - April 1996 3.8.3-36 Any additional required information is requested from the applicant at an early stage of the review process. 2. Applicable Codes, Standards, and Specifications
