Content:
Draft Revision 3 – June 2013 5. GDC 14 requires that the RCPB be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested so as to have an extremely low probability of abnormal leakage, of rapidly propagating failure, and of gross rupture. SRP Section 3.9.3 provides guidance for the staff's review of Code Class 1 components and component supports, including core support structures. This guidance cites the requirements of the Code to compute stresses and stress limits that are based on the loads and load combinations described in the SRP section. Meeting these requirements provides additional assurance that components that are part of the RCPB will be designed so as to have an extremely low probability of abnormal leakage, rapidly propagating failure, and gross rupture. This guidance is designed to be in accordance with GDC 14. Meeting these requirements provides reasonable assurance that components that are part of the RCPB are capable of performing their intended safety functions and prevent the spread of radioactive materials. 6. GDC 15 requires that the RCS and associated auxiliary, control, and protection systems be designed with sufficient margin to assure that the design conditions of the RCPB are not exceeded during any condition of normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences.
