suitability report or topical report). For review of both DC and COL applications, SRP Section 14.3 should be followed for the review of ITAAC. The review of ITAAC cannot be completed until after the completion of this section. 3.8.1-24 Revision 4 - September 2013 IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The reviewer verifies that the applicant has provided sufficient information and that the review and calculations (if applicable) support conclusions of the following type to be included in the staff's SER. The reviewer also states the bases for those conclusions. The staff concludes that the design of the concrete containment is acceptable and meets the relevant requirements of 10 CFR 50.34(f); 10 CFR 50.44; 10 CFR 50.55a and GDCs 1, 2, 4, 16, and 50. This conclusion is based on the following: 1. The applicant has met the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a and GDC 1 with respect to ensuring that the concrete containment is designed, fabricated, erected, constructed, tested, and inspected to quality standards commensurate with its safety function. 2. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 2 by designing the concrete containment to withstand the most severe earthquake that has been established for the site with sufficient margin and the combinations of the effects of normal and accident conditions with the effects of environmental loadings such as earthquakes and other natural phenomena. 3. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 4 by ensuring that the design of the concrete containment is capable of withstanding the dynamic effects associated with missiles, pipe whipping, and discharging fluids. 4. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 16 by designing the concrete containment so that it is an essentially leak-tight barrier to prevent the uncontrolled release of radioactive effluents to the environment. 5. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 50 by designing the concrete containment to accommodate, with sufficient margin, the design leakage rate, calculated
