Content:
with other types of geometry are reviewed, the necessary modifications to this SRP section are made on a case-by-case basis. (iv) Steel components of concrete containments that resist pressure and are not backed by structural concrete (e.g., the drywell head in the Advanced Boiling Water Reactor).4 The geometry of the containment is reviewed, including sketches showing plan views at various elevations and sections in at least two orthogonal directions. The arrangement of the containment and the relationship and interaction of the shell with its surrounding shield building and with its interior compartments, walls, and floors are reviewed to determine the effect which these structures could have upon the design boundary conditions and the expected behavior of the shell when subjected to the design loads. b. General information related to the containment shell is reviewed, including the following: (i) The foundation of the steel containment, including the following: (a) If the bottom of the steel containment is continuous through an inverted dome, the method by which the inverted dome and its supports are anchored to the concrete foundation, which is covered by Standard Review PlanSRP Section 3.8.5, is reviewed. 5 (b) If the bottom of the steel containment is not continuous, and where a concrete base slab topped with a liner plate is used for a foundation, the extent of descriptive information reviewed for the foundation is contained and is reviewed as stated in subsection I.1 of Standard Review PlanSRP Section 3.8.1. Further, the method of anchorage of the steel cylindrical shell walls in the concrete base slab is reviewed, particularly the connection between the floor liner plate and the steel shell. 3.8.2-3 DRAFT Rev. 2 - April 1996 (ii) The cylindrical portion of the shell is reviewed, including major structural attachments such as beam seats, pipe restraints, crane brackets, and shell stiffeners (if any) in the hoop and vertical directions. (iii) The dome of the
