CFR Title: 

Content:
that the design of safety-related structures other than containment or containment interior structures is acceptable and meets the relevant requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a and GDCs 1, 2, 4, and 5. This conclusion is based on the following: 1. The applicant has met the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a and GDC 1 with respect to ensuring that the safety-related structures other than containment are designed, fabricated, erected, constructed, tested, and inspected to quality standards commensurate with the safety function to be performed by meeting the guidelines of RGs and industry standards indicated below. 2. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 2 by designing the safety-related structures described in this section to withstand the most severe earthquake that has been established for the site with sufficient margin and the combinations of the effects of normal and accident conditions with the effects of environmental loadings such as earthquakes and other natural phenomena. 3. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 4 by ensuring that the design of the safety-related structures are capable of withstanding the dynamic effects associated with missiles, pipe whipping, and discharging fluids. 4. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 5 by demonstrating that SSCs are not shared between units or that, if shared, the applicant has demonstrated that sharing will not impair their ability to perform their intended safety function. 5. The applicant has met the requirements of Appendix B because the quality assurance program provides adequate measures for implementing guidelines relating to structural design audits. 6. The criteria used in the analysis, design, and construction of all the plant Seismic Category I structures to account for anticipated loadings and postulated conditions that may be imposed on each structure during its service lifetime conform with established criteria, codes, standards, and specifications acceptable to the regulatory staff.
