raction due to seismic and/or pool swell should be considered. h. Those loads which are generated as a result of platform deformation and flexibility, towing of the platform and wave action in case of floating plants. Other loads associated with the nonsymmetric dynamic loads generated from LOCA and SRV actuation loads should also be considered. i. Those loads which are generated as a result of the LOCA in the ice-condenser. These loads are categorized as nonsymmetric dynamic transient pressure loads which in the first few seconds might produce compressive stresses in the containment due to the differential pressure across the containment. The various combinations of the above loads that are normally postulated and reviewed include the following: Testing loads; normal operating loads; normal operating loads with severe environmental loads; normal operating loads with severe environmental loads and abnormal loads; normal operating loads with extreme environmental loads and abnormal loads; and post-LOCA flooding loads with severe environmental loads, if applicable. Specific and more detailed information on these combinations are delineated in subsection II.3 of this SRP section. Unless the steel containment is protected by a shield building, other site-related design loads might also be applicable, Including those described in subsection I.3 of Standard Review Plan Section 3.8.1. 4. Design and Analysis Procedures The design and analysis procedures utilized for the steel containment are reviewed with emphasis on the extent of compliance with Subsection NE of the Code, Section III, Division 1. Particular emphasis is placed on the following subjects: a. Treatment of nonaxisymmetric and localized loads. b. Treatment of local buckling effects. c. The computer programs utilized in the design and analysis. d. Ultimate capacity of steel containment. e. Structural audit. f. Design report. 3.8.2-4 Rev. 1 - July 1981 5. Structural Acceptance Criteria The design limits. imposed
