of- the containment. The pressure-retaining capacity of localized areas as well as of the overall containment structure should be determined. The analysis should be made on the basis of the allowable material strength specified in the Code. However, if the actual material properties such as the tested material strength, strength variations indicated by mill test certificates and other material uncertainties, are available, the lower and upper bounds of the containment capacity may be established statistically. The details of the analysis and the results should be submitted in a report form with the following identifiable information. (1) The original design pressure, P, as defined in the Code, Subsubarticle NE-3220. (2) Calculated static pressure capacity, (3) Equivalent static pressure response calculated from dynamic pressure, (4) The associated failure mode, (5) The criteria governing the original design and the criteria used to establish failure; (6) Analysis details and general results, and (7) Appropriate engineering drawings adequate to allow verifi- cation of modeling and evaluation of analyses employed for the containment structure. e. Structural Audit Structural Audit is conducted as described in Appendix B to SRP Section 3.8.4. f. Design Report Design report is considered acceptable when it satisfies the guidelines of Appendix C to SRP Section 3.8.4. 3.8.2-12 Rev. 1 - July 1981 5. Structural Acceptance Criteria Stresses at various locations of the shell of the containment for various design loads are determined by analysis. Total stresses for the combination of loads delineated in subsection 11.3 of this SRP section are acceptable if found to be within limits defined by various sections of the Code, Section III, Subsection NE, as augmented by Regulatory Guide 1.57. An acceptable interpretation of these limits is contained in Table 3.8.2-1 where the notation is in accordance with the Code. 6. Materials, Quality Control, and Special Construction Techniques
