Content:
t the concrete containment is designed, fabricated, erected, constructed, tested, and inspected to quality standards commensurate with its safety function. 2. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 2 by designing the concrete 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. 3. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 4 by ensuring that the design of the concrete containment is capable of withstanding the dynamic effects associated with missiles, pipe whipping, and discharging fluids. 4. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 16 by designing the concrete containment so that it is an essentially leak-tight barrier to prevent the uncontrolled release of radioactive effluents to the environment. 5. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 50 by designing the concrete containment to accommodate, with sufficient margin, the design leakage rate, calculated pressure, and temperature conditions resulting from accident conditions and by ensuring that the design conditions are not exceeded during the full course of the accident condition. In meeting these design requirements, the applicant has used the recommendations of regulatory guides and industry standards indicated below. The applicant has also performed appropriate analysis which demonstrates that the ultimate capacity of the containment will not be exceeded and establishes the minimum margin of safety for the design. 6. The applicant has met the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 in that the quality assurance program provides adequate measures for implementing guidelines relating to structural design. 3.8.1-26 Revision 2 - March 2007 7. If applicable, the applicant has met the requirements of 10 CFR 50.34(f) by designing the plant to accommodate hydrogen
