ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, Division 2. The use of these criteria as defined by applicable codes, standards, guides, and specifications; the loads and loading combinations, the design and analysis procedures; the structural acceptance criteria; the materials, quality control programs, and special construction techniques; and the testing and inservice surveillance requirements, provide reasonable assurance that, in the event of winds, tornadoes, earthquakes and various postulated accidents occurring within and outside the containment, the structure will withstand the specified design conditions without impairment of structural integrity or safety function of limiting the release of radioactive material. 3.8.1-15 Rev. 1 - July 1981 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 Commssion's regulations, the method described herein will be used by the staff in its evaluation of conformance with Commission regulations. Implementation schedules for conformance to parts of the method discussed herein are contained in the referenced regulatory guides. VI. REFERENCES 1.
