Design Criterion 2 (GDC 2) as it relates to the design of the safety-related 36 structures being capable to withstand the most severe natural phenomena such as wind, tornadoes, floods, and earthquakes and the appropriate combination of all loads. C. General Design Criterion 4 (GDC 4) as it relates to safety-related structure being 37 capable of withstanding the dynamic effects of equipment failures including missiles and blowdown loads associated with the loss of coolant accidents. D. General Design Criterion 5 (GDC 5) as it relates to sharing of structures important to 38 safety, unless it can be shown that such sharing will not significantly impair their validity to perform their safety functions. E. Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 as it relates to the quality assurance criteria for nuclear power plants. The regulatory guides and industry standards identified in item 2 of this subsection provides information, recommendations, and guidance and in general describes a basis acceptable to the staff that may be used to implement the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a and GDCGeneral Design Criteria 1, 2, 4, and 5 and Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. Also, specific acceptance 39 criteria necessary to meet the relevant requirements of these regulations for the areas of review, described in subsection I of this SRP section, are as follows: 1. Description of the Structures The descriptive information in the safety analysis report (SAR) is considered acceptable if it meets the minimum requirements set forth in Section 3.8.4.1 of the "Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants," Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.70. Deficient areas of descriptive information are identified by the reviewer and a request for additional information is initiated at the application acceptance review. New or unique design features that are not specifically covered in the "Standard Format...", RG 1.7040 may require a more detailed review. The reviewer determines the additional
