3, 1.160, and 1.199 to provide guidance regarding construction, quality control, tests, and inspections that are acceptable to the staff. ACI 349, as supplemented by RG 1.142, and ANSI/AISC N690-1994, including Supplement 2 (2004), contain basic specifications for concrete and steel structures, respectively. These guides and specifications impose specific restrictions to ensure that SSCs will perform their intended safety function. Meeting these requirements provides added assurance that the SSCs described here will perform their safety function and limit the release of radioactive materials. 2. Compliance with GDC 1 requires that SSCs important to safety be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of their safety function, that a quality assurance program be established and implemented, and that sufficient and appropriate records be maintained. Where generally recognized codes and standards are used, they shall be identified and evaluated to determine their applicability, adequacy, and sufficiency and shall be supplemented as necessary to assure a quality product in keeping with the required safety function. This SRP section describes staff positions 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 section 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 restrictions to ensure that structures other than the containment will perform acceptably, commensurate with their intended safety function,
