Content:
performed that demonstrates that the containment structural integrity is maintained under loads resulting from combustible gases generated from metal-water reaction of the fuel cladding. An analytical technique accepted by the NRC staff should demonstrate the containment structural integrity. This analysis should include sufficient supporting justification to show that the technique describes the containment response to the structural loads involved. RG 1.7 presents further guidance on the analytical technique, loads, loading combination, and acceptance criteria. G. Other site-related or plant-related loads applicable to containment such as floods, explosive hazards in proximity to the site, potential aircraft crashes (nonterrorism-related incidents), and missiles generated from activities of nearby military installations or turbine failures need to be considered. The staff reviews the inclusion of these loads in the factored load combinations on a case-by-case basis. H. The review considers those loads encountered during construction of the containment, which include dead loads, live loads, prestress loads, temperature, wind, earth pressure, snow, rain, and ice, and construction loads that may be applicable such as material loads, personnel and equipment loads, horizontal construction loads, erection and fitting forces, equipment reactions, and form pressure. Structural Engineering Institute (SEI)/American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Standard 37 gives additional guidance on construction loads for use in the load combination for construction given in Table CC-3230-1 of the ASME Code. When SEI/ASCE Standard 37 and the ASME Code/SRP provide conflicting criteria, then the ASME Code/SRP should govern. 4. Design and Analysis Procedures. The procedures for design and analysis used for the concrete containment, including the steel liner, are acceptable if found in accordance with those stipulated in Article CC-3300 of the ASME Code and RG 1.136 (see Subsection II.3
