) of anchors (steel embedments) used for component and structural supports in concrete. Applicability This RG applies to applicants and licensees subject to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, “Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities” (Ref. 1), and 10 CFR Part 52, “Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants” (Ref. 2). Applicable Regulations • 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A “General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants,” establishes design, fabrication, construction, testing, and performance requirements for structures, systems, and components (SSCs) important to safety through general design criteria (GDC). GDC applicable to this RG include the following: o GDC 1, “Quality standards and records,” requires, in part, that SSCs important to safety shall be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be performed. Where generally recognized codes and standards are used, they shall be identified and evaluated to determine applicability, adequacy, and sufficiency and shall be supplemented or modified as necessary to assure a quality product in keeping with the required safety function. o GDC 2, “Design bases for protection against natural phenomena,” requires, in part, that SSCs important to safety shall be designed to withstand the effects of natural phenomena without loss of capability to perform their safety functions, reflecting the appropriate DG-1284, Page 2 combinations of the effects of normal and accident conditions with the effects of the natural phenomena. o GDC 4, “Environmental and dynamic effects design bases,” requires, in part, that SSCs important to safety shall be designed to accommodate the effects of and to be compatible with the environmental conditions associated with normal operation, maintenance, testing, and postulated accidents. • 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, “Quality
