2, Page 21 sections used as support systems or for other construction convenience, if left embedded in the concrete, are filled with concrete or grout as appropriate. 14. Ultimate Capacity of Concrete Containment A nonlinear finite element analysis should be performed to determine the ultimate capacity of the containment. The design and analysis procedures described in Regulatory Position C.1 in RG 1.216 are acceptable. 15. Acceptable Section III, Division 2, Code Cases The Code Cases listed in Table 1 below are acceptable to the NRC for application in the design and construction of concrete containment structures for water-cooled nuclear power plants.
