regulations. 4. 10 CFR 52.80(a), which requires that a COL application contain the proposed inspections, tests, and analyses, including those applicable to emergency planning, that the licensee shall perform, and the acceptance criteria that are necessary and sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that, if the inspections, tests, and analyses are performed and the acceptance criteria met, the facility has been constructed and will operate in conformity with the COL, the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act, Commission’s rules and regulations. SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the Commission's regulations identified above are as follows for review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the Commission's regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between this SRP section and the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for the facility, and to discuss how the proposed alternatives provide acceptable methods of complying with the regulations that underlie the SRP acceptance criteria. 1. Seismic Analysis Methods. The seismic analysis of all seismic Category I SSCs should use either a suitable dynamic analysis method or an equivalent static load analysis method, if justified. The SRP acceptance criteria primarily address linear elastic analysis coupled with allowable stresses near elastic limits of the structures. However, for certain special cases (e.g., stability analyses and evaluation of as-built structures), reliance on limited inelastic/nonlinear behavior is acceptable to the staff when appropriate.
