Content:
s, single foundation for the nuclear island structures, and concrete walls and floors integrally connected to the concrete containment, the applicant needs to provide information such that an adequate review and evaluation can be done. Various geometries have been used for these containments. The geometry most commonly encountered is an upright cylinder topped with a dome and supported on a flat concrete basemat. Although applicable to any geometry, the specific provisions of this NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan (SRP) section are best suited to the cylindrical-type containment topped by a dome. Reviews of containments with other types of geometry will make the necessary deviations from this SRP section on a case- by-case basis. The geometry of the containment is reviewed, including sketches showing plan views at various elevations and sections in at least two orthogonal directions. The reviewer examines the arrangement of the containment and the relationship and interaction of the shell with its surrounding structures and with its interior compartment walls and floors to determine the effect of these structures on the design boundary conditions and expected structural behavior of the containment when subjected to design loads. The review encompasses general information related to the containment shell, including the following: A. The basemat, including the reinforcement; the floor liner plate and its anchorage and stiffening system; and the methods by which the interior structures are anchored through the liner plate and into the slab, if applicable B. The cylindrical wall, including the reinforcement and prestressing tendons, if any; the wall liner plate and its anchorage and stiffening system; the major penetrations and the reinforcement surrounding them, including the personnel 3.8.1-3 Revision 4 - September 2013 and equipment hatches and major pipe penetrations; major structural attachments to the wall that penetrate the liner plate such as beam seats, pipe
