Regulatory Guide 1.216, ‘‘Containment Structural Integrity Evaluation for Internal Pressure Loadings Above Design-Basis Pressure,’’ was issued with a temporary identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, DG–1203. This guide describes methods that the NRC staff considers acceptable for (1) predicting the internal pressure capacity for containment structures above the design-basis accident pressure, (2) demonstrating containment structural integrity related to combustible gas control, and (3) demonstrating containment structural integrity to meet the Commission’s performance goals related to the prevention and mitigation of severe accidents. It provides guidance on methods for satisfying requirements in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 52, ‘‘Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants.’’ Requirements in 10 CFR 52.47, ‘‘Contents of Applications; Technical Information,’’ and in 10 CFR 52.79, ‘‘Contents of Applications; Technical Information in Final Safety Analysis Report [FSAR],’’ relate to the structural integrity of containments under internal pressurization that pertain to the containment structural capacity above design-basis pressures, to combustible gas control, and to the prevention and mitigation of severe accidents. This guidance is intended to be consistent with the Commission’s goals and other related guidance, as discussed in the remainder of this section. This regulatory guide does not address requirements and guidance for the structural evaluation of containments for design-basis pressure. II. Further Information In December 2008, DG–1203 was published with a public comment period of 60 days from the issuance of the guide. The public comment period closed on February 9, 2009. The staff’s responses to the public comments received are located in the NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System under Accession Number ML092800554.

The Third Party Authorization will not be used in every request for assistance.
