2-14 inches) in any direction from the joint. (2) Requalification should be required for different restricted accessibility conditions or when other essential variables listed in the Code, Section IX, are changed. An alternate acceptance criterion is as stated in Subsection II.3.B of this SRP section. E. For nondestructive examination of austenitic stainless steel tubular products, the quality standards requirements of GDC 1, GDC 30, and § 50.55a are met by compliance with the applicable provisions of the ASME Code. The acceptance criteria are given in Section III of the Code, Paragraphs NB-2550 through NB-2570. 5.2.3-13 Revision 3 - March 2007 G. Operational Programs. For COL reviews, the description of the operational program and proposed implementation milestones for the Inservice Inspection and Inservice Testing Programs are reviewed in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(g) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix A. The implementation milestones in the Inservice Inspection and Inservice Testing Programs are identified under SRP Section 5.2.4. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: 1. GDC 1 and 10 CFR 50.55a require that structures, systems, and components (SSCs) be designed, fabricated, erected, constructed, tested, and inspected to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed. 10 CFR 50.55a also incorporates by reference applicable editions and addenda of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. GDC 30 requires that components which are part of the reactor coolant pressure boundary be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to the highest quality standards practical. The reactor coolant pressure boundary provides a fission product barrier, a confined volume for the inventory of reactor coolant, and flow paths to facilitate core cooling. Application of 10 CFR 50.55a, GDC 1, and GDC 30 to the
