r masonry walls. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: 1. Compliance with 10 CFR 50.55a requires that SSCs be designed, fabricated, erected, constructed, tested, and inspected to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed. This section of the SRP cites RGs 1.69, 1.91, 1.115, 1.142, 1.143, 1.160, and 1.199 to provide guidance regarding construction, quality control, tests, and inspections that are acceptable to the staff. ACI 349, as supplemented by RG 1.142, and ANSI/AISC N690-1994, including Supplement 2 (2004), contain basic specifications for concrete and steel structures, respectively. These guides and specifications impose specific restrictions to ensure that SSCs will perform their intended safety function. Meeting these requirements provides added assurance that the SSCs described here will perform their safety function and limit the release of radioactive materials. 3.8.4-14 Draft Revision 4 – December 2012 2. Compliance with GDC 1 requires that SSCs important to safety be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of their safety function that a quality assurance program be established and implemented, and that sufficient and appropriate records be maintained. Where generally recognized codes and standards are used, they shall be identified and evaluated to determine their applicability, adequacy, and sufficiency and shall be supplemented as necessary to assure a quality product in keeping with the required safety function. This SRP section describes staff positions related to static and dynamic loadings and evaluation programs for structures other than containment. It also describes acceptable materials, design methodology, quality control procedures, construction methods, and inservice inspections, as well as
