Introduction Appendix B, "Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants," to 10 CFR Part 50, "Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities," requires, in part, that the design control measures shall provide for verifying or checking the adequacy of simplified calculational methods, or by the performance of a suitable testing program. This appendix provides requirements and guidelines for implementation of structural design audits. 2. Objectives The audit is conducted in order that the following objectives are accomplished: (a) To investigate the manner in which the applicant has implemented the structural design criteria that he committed to use for the facility. (b) To verify that the key structural design calculations have been conducted in an acceptable way. (c) To identify and assess the safety significance of these areas where the plant structures were designed and analyzed using methods other than those recommended by the SRP section. 3. Preliminary Arrangements Arrangements for the audit
