Content:
that the Seismic Category I foundations are designed, fabricated, erected, constructed, tested, and inspected to quality standards commensurate with the safety functions to be performed by meeting the guidelines of regulatory guides and industry standards indicated below. 2. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 2 by designing the Seismic Category I foundation described in this section to withstand not only the most severe earthquake that has been established for the site with sufficient margin, but also 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 designs of Seismic Category I foundations are capable of withstanding the dynamic effects associated with missiles, pipe whipping, and discharging fluids. 4. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 5 by demonstrating that SSCs are not shared between units or that, if shared, they have demonstrated that sharing will not impair their ability to perform their intended safety functions. 5. The applicant has met the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B because the quality assurance program provides adequate measures for implementing guidelines relating to structural design. 6. The criteria used in the analysis, design, and construction of all plant Seismic Category I foundations to account for anticipated loadings and postulated conditions that may be imposed upon each foundation during its service lifetime are in conformance with established criteria, codes, standards, and specifications acceptable to the NRC staff. These include meeting the positions of RG and industry standards listed in Subsection II.2 of SRP Section 3.8.1 for containment foundations and Subsection II.2 of SRP Section 3.8.4 for other Seismic Category I foundations. 7. The use of these criteria as defined by applicable codes, standards, and specifications;
