Content:
lable for defining accident phenomena and containment responses, and (3) the conservatism of the calculational model and input parameters. SRP Section 3.8.2 provides acceptable methods, including load combinations, acceptance criteria, standards, and codes to ensure that the design of the containment can withstand the pressure loads and temperature conditions resulting from any LOCA. 3.8.2-22 Revision 3 - May 2010 SRP Section 3.8.2 provides a deterministic methodology for estimating the ultimate pressure capacity of steel containments, and also provides review guidance when alternate methodologies are implemented. Meeting these requirements provides assurance that the containment structure, including the penetrations and the internal compartments, will be able to withstand the loads resulting from pressure and temperature conditions resulting from any LOCA, and will perform its design safety function. 6. Compliance with 10 CFR 50.34(f)(3)(v)(A) and (B) requires that the containments for specific plants be capable of resisting loads associated with hydrogen generation equivalent to 100-percent metal-water reaction of the fuel cladding, accompanied by hydrogen burning or the added pressure of inerting system actuation. At a minimum, 10 CFR 50.34(f)(3)(v)(A)(1) requires that containment structures be designed to withstand a combined dead load and internal pressure of 310 kPa (45 psig). SRP Section 3.8.2 provides load combinations and acceptance criteria based on the specific provisions of 10 CFR 50.34(f)(3)(v)(A) and (B). Meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 50.34, specifically 10 CFR 50.34(f)(3)(v)(A) and (B), provides assurance that the containment will be able to withstand loads from the sources specified above and will perform its intended safety function. 7. Compliance with 10 CFR 50.44 requires that containments accommodate loadings associated with combustible gas generated from a metal-water reaction of the fuel cladding. SRP Section 3.8.2 provides load
