nalysis. Total stresses for the combination of loads delineated in subsection II.3 of this SRP section are acceptable if found to be within limits defined by various sections of the Code, Section III, Subsection NE, as augmented by Regulatory Guide 1.57. An acceptable interpretation of these limits is contained in Table 3.8.2-1 where the notation is in accordance with the Code. 6. Materials, Quality Control, and Special Construction Techniques a. The materials of construction are acceptable if in accordance with Article NE-2000 of Subsection NE of the Code, Section III, Division 1. Corrosion protection areis reviewed by the Chemical Engineering BranchEMCB.55 3.8.2-17 DRAFT Rev. 2 - April 1996 b. Quality control programs are acceptable if in accordance with Articles NE-4000 and NE-5000 of Subsection NE of the Code, Section III, Division 1. c. Special construction techniques, if any, are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. 7. Testing and Inservice Surveillance Requirements a. Procedures for the preoperational structural proof test are acceptable if found in accordance with Article NE-6000 of Subsection NE of the Code, Section III, Division 1. b. Inservice surveillance requirements for steel containments are currently under development. Acceptance criteria for inservice surveillance programs in areas 56 subject to corrosion are established by the Chemical Engineering Branch EMCB, as required. 57 Technical Rationale58 The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to reviewing steel containments is discussed in the following paragraphs:59 1. Compliance with GDC 1 and 10 CFR 50.55a requires that structures, systems, and components important to safety be designed, constructed, tested, and inspected to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed. This SRP section describes staff positions related to static and dynamic loadings and evaluation programs for steel containments. It also describes acceptable
