of its primary described review responsiblity for SRP Section 3.6.1. SEB accepts the loads thus generated as approved by the ASB, to be included in the load combination equations of this SRP section. Determination of loads generated due to pressure under accident conditions is performed by the Containment Systems Branch CSB as part of its primary review responsi- bility for SRP Section 6.2.1. SEB accepts the loads thus generated, as approved by the CSB, to be included in the load combinations in this SRP section. This review for Quality Assurance is coordinated and per- formed by the Quality Assurance Branch as part of its primary review responsibility for SRP Section 17.0. For those areas of review identified above as being reviewed as part of the primary review responsibility of other branches, the acceptance criteria necessary for the review and their methods of application are contained in the referenced SRP section of the corresponding primary branch. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA SEB acceptance criteria for the design of steel containments are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following regulations: 1. 10 CFR Part 50, §50.55a and General Design Criterion 1 as they relate to steel containments being designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed. 2. General Design Criterion 2 as it relates to the design of the steel con- tainments being capable of withstanding the most severe natural phenomena such as winds, tornadoes, floods, and earthquakes and the appropriate combination of all loads. 3. General Design Criterion 4 as it relates to steel containments being capable of withstanding the dynamic effects of equipment failures includ- ing missiles pipe whip and blowdown loads associated with the loss-of- coolant accident. 4. General Design Criterion 16 as it relates to the capability of the steel containment to act as a leaktight membrane to prevent the uncontrolled
