Content:
structures to account for anticipated loadings and postulated conditions that may be imposed during the structures during their service lifetime are in conformance with established criteria, and with codes, standards, and specifications acceptable to the Regulatory staff. These include meeting the positions of Regulatory Guides 1.10, 1.15, 1.55, 1.57, 1.94 and 1.142 and industry standards ACI-349, ASME, "ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, Division 2, Code for Concrete Reactor Vessels and Containments," ASME, "Boiler Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, Subsections NE and NF," AISC, "Specifications for the Design, Fabrication, and Erection of Structural Steel for Buildings and ANSI N45.2.5. The use of these criteria as defined by applicable codes, standards, and specifications, the loads and loading combinatfons; the design and analysis procedures; the structural acceptance criteria; the materials, quality control programs, and special construction techniques; and the testing and in-service surveillance requirements provide reasonable assurance that, in the event of earthquakes and various postulated accidents occurring within the containment, the interior structures will withstand the specified design conditions without impairment of structural integrity or the performance of required safety functions. V. IMPLEMENTATION The following is intended to provide guidance to applicants and licensees regarding the NRC staff's plans for using this SRP section. Except in those cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission's regulations, the method described herein will be used by the staff in its evaluation of conformance with Commission regulations. 3.8.3-31 Rev. 1 - July 1981 Implementation schedules for conformance to parts of the method discussed herein are contained in the referenced regulatory guides.
