Content:
Revision 4 – September 2013 A coupled structure and soil model is used to evaluate SSI effects upon seismic responses. Appropriate nonlinear stress-strain and damping relationships for the soil are considered in the analysis. We conclude that the use of the seismic structural analysis procedures and criteria delineated above by the applicant provides an acceptable basis for the seismic design, which is in conformance with the requirements of item 3 listed above. 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 Safety Evaluation Report (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, COL, ESP and license applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10 CFR Part 52, or CP and OL applicants pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50. The staff will use the method described herein to evaluate conformance with the Commission's regulations. The application must contain an evaluation of the standard plant design against the SRP revision in effect 6 months before the docket date of the application. The application must identify and describe all differences between this SRP section and the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for the facility, and discuss how the proposed alternative provides an acceptable method of complying with the regulations that underlie the SRP acceptance criteria.
