Content:
349, with additional guidance provided by RG 1.142 and ANSI/AISC N690-1994 including Supplement 2 (2004) contains basic specifications for concrete and steel structures, respectively. These guides and specifications impose specific restrictions to ensure that the foundations of structures other than containment will perform their intended safety function. 3.8.5-16 Revision 4 – September 2013 Meeting these requirements and criteria provides additional assurance that the foundations of structures other than containment described in this section will perform their intended safety function and limit the release of radioactive materials. 2. Compliance with GDC 1 requires that (1) SSCs important to safety be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of their safety function, (2) a quality assurance program be established and implemented, and (3) sufficient and appropriate records be maintained. If generally recognized codes and standards are used, they should be identified and evaluated to determine their applicability, adequacy, and sufficiency and supplemented or modified as necessary to assure a quality product in keeping with the required safety function. This SRP section, which also refers to SRP Section 3.8.4, describes acceptable criteria related to static and dynamic loadings and evaluation programs for structures other than containment. It also describes acceptable materials, design methodology, quality control procedures, construction methods, and inservice inspections, as well as documentation criteria for design and construction controls. This SRP section, which also refers to SRP Section 3.8.4, cites ACI 349, ANSI/AISC N690-1994 including Supplement 2 (2004), and RGs to provide guidance describing design methodology, materials testing, and construction techniques that are commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed. Conformance with these requirements imposes specific
