Content:
the procedures or criteria described in subsection II.4.e of Standard Review PlanSRP Section 3.8.1. d. Ultimate capacity of steel containment An analysis should be performed to determine the ultimate capacity 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. DRAFT Rev. 2 - April 1996 3.8.2-16 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 verification of modeling and evaluation of analyses employed for the containment structure. e. Structural audit Structural Audit is audits are conducted as described in Appendix B to 53 SRP Section 3.8.4. f. Design report DesignThe design report is considered acceptable when it satisfies the 54 guidelines of Appendix C to SRP Section 3.8.4. 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 II.3 of this SRP section are acceptable if found to be within limits defined by various sections of the Code, Section III,
