site 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. 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 safety evaluation report. The reviewer also states the bases for those conclusions. 3.8.2-25 Revision 3 - May 2010 The staff concludes that the design of the steel 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 applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50.34(f) and 10 CFR 50.44 by designing the containment to withstand the pressure loads generated by fuel clad metal-water reaction, and either the subsequent burning of hydrogen or the added pressure from postaccident inerting, using the appropriate ASME Code service limits. 2. The applicant has met the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a and GDC 1 with respect to ensuring that the steel containment is designed, fabricated, erected, constructed, tested, and inspected to quality standards commensurate with its safety function to be performed by meeting the guidelines of the RGs and industry standards indicated below. 3. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 2 by designing the steel 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. 4. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 4 by ensuring that the design of steel containment is capable of withstanding the dynamic effects associated with
