NRC-04-97-037 Section C SECTION C - DESCRIPTION / SPECIFICATIONS / WORK STATEMENT C.1 STATEMENT OF WORK C.1.1 Introduction Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.142, " Safety-Related Concrete Structures for Nuclear Power Plant (other than Reactor Vessels and Containments)," was published in October 1981.
Revision 1 of_RG 1.143, " Design Guidance for Radioactive Waste Management Systems, Structures, and Components Installed in Light-Water Cooled Nuclear Power Plants," was published in October 1979. Since the publication of Revision 1 of RG 1.142 and RG 1.143, the-codes and standards they reference have been changed and updated.
Also, when these guides were published, they were written to cover Light Water Reactor designs. Revisions to these regulatory guides are needed to address changes in codes and standards since 1980 and to facilitate the structural and seismic design certification of new standard reactor designs.
Updated guidance is also needed to certify the seismic design for i
radioactive waste management systems, structures, and components.
i C.1.2
Background
Regulatory Guide 1,142, Revision 1, endorses the 1976 edition of the ACI 349 Code.
The Code was also published in 1985 and 1990.
The ACI 349 Committee will soon publish the 1995 edition of the code.
Numerous changes and additions to the Code and its f RG commentary have occurred sir e the publication of Revision 1 o 1.142 in 1981.
The changes made include quality control requirements, minimum reinforcing requirements, and requirements for shear-torsional resistance.
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), in its Utility Requirements Documents for Passive and Evolutionary (Advanced) Reactors, and the applicants seeking Design Certification of standardized reactors, such as AP600, have used the latest revision (1990) of ACI 349. Therefore, an update of RG 1.142 is needed to provide the NRC staff and
-applicants with the necessary review and acceptance criteria.
Regulatory Guide 1.143 is almost non-implementable for standard reactor designs because the guide refers to the Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE) for seismic design criteria.
For standard reactor designs, the OBE may not have been defined so some other mechanism for seismic design needs to be incorporated into the regulatory guide.
At the time of publication of RG 1.143 in October 1979, the guide discussed a number of ANS/ ANSI Standards related to solid and liquid radwaste systems being developed at j
Page 4 of 31 i
I NRC-04-97-037 Section C C.1.2 (Continued)
L that time. The current applicability of these standards and systems needs to be evaluated.
An update of RG 1.143 should also include references to the latest r
revisions of American Concrete Institute (ACI) Code 318, " Building Code Requirements for Reinforced Concrete", and American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Code " Load and Resistance Factor Design Specification for Structural Steel Buildings."
C.1.3 Discussion of Technical Problems Since the publication of RG's 1.142 and 1.143, changes have been-made in the codes and standards they reference.
Also, with the introduction of some new design and construction concepts for i
standard reactors (System 80+, AP600, SBWR), the potential exists for changes or revisions to current design codes and standards (e.g.,
ASME, ACI, AISC and ANSI) in areas relating to structural and seismic design.
A program is proposed to determine and identify the needed changes or revisions to the current regulatory guides in order to satisfy NRC requirements.
C.1.4 Contract Objectives The objective of this procurement is to identify and evaluate current versions of structural and seismic design codes and standards that will have a significant impact on the review of standard reactor designs, and to determine and evaluate the need for revisions to RG's 1.142 and 1.143. The main goal of this program is to provide the bases for updating the above regulatory guides.
C.1.5 Scope of Work Task A.
Determine the needed changes or revisions to Regulatory Guides 1.142 and 1.143 to bring the guides up to date with current industry codes and standards in response to a user request from NRR.
List the codes or standards and areas of the codes and i
standards that are applicable to RG's 1.142 and 1.143.
(6 months)
Task B.
Recommend wording changes to the regulatory guides that would satisfy NRC requirements for standard reactors and cover revised or updated industry code criteria. (5 months)
Task C.
Recommend the most appropriate course of action necessary to make the changes identified (e.g.,
write / revise regulatory l
guides, or combine regulatory guides). (1 month)
Task D.
Final report preparation. (3 months)

l locations to obtain source material for this program.
A total of two 2-day meetings for one person is anticipated for each fiscal year.
