Structures for Nuclear Power Plants (Other than Reactor Vessels and 
Containments,'' provides guidance on methods acceptable to the NRC 
staff for complying with the NRC's regulations on the design, 
evaluation, and quality assurance of safety-related nuclear concrete 
structures, excluding concrete reactor vessels and concrete 
containments.
