h the importance of the safety function to be performed 2. GDC 2, as it relates to designing steel containments to be capable of withstanding the most severe natural phenomena such as winds, tornados, floods, and earthquakes and the appropriate combination of all loads 3. GDC 4, as it relates to the capability of steel containments to withstand the dynamic effects of equipment failures, including missiles, pipe whipping, and blowdown loads associated with LOCAs 4. GDC 16, as it relates to the capability of the steel containment to act as a leaktight membrane to prevent the uncontrolled release of radioactive effluents to the environment 5. GDC 50, as it relates to designing steel containments with sufficient margin of safety to accommodate appropriate design loads 6. 10 CFR 50.34(f), as it relates to the capability of the steel containment of specific identified plants to resist (1) those loads that are generated by pressure and dead loads during an accident that releases hydrogen generated from 100-percent fuel clad metal-water reaction and accompanied by either hydrogen burning or added pressure from postaccident inerting, and (2) those loads that are generated as a result of an inadvertent full actuation of a postaccident inerting hydrogen control system, excluding seismic or design-basis accident loadings1 7. 10 CFR 50.44, as it relates to the capability of the steel containment of existing plants and new plants to resist those loads associated with combustible gas generation from a metal-water reaction of the fuel cladding 1For Part 50 applicants not listed in 10 CFR 50.32(f), the provisions of 50.34(f) will be made a requirement during the licensing process. 3.8.2-9 Revision 3 - May 2010 8. 10 CFR 52.47(b)(1), which requires that a DC application contain the proposed ITAACs that are necessary and sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that, if the inspections, tests, and analyses are performed and the acceptance criteria met, a plant that incorporates the
