TANCE CRITERIA The requirements for periodic inspection and testing of the RCPB required by General Design Criterion 32 are specified in 10 CFR Part 50, §50.55a, "Codes and Standards" and detailed in Section XI of the ASME Code. Compliance with the preservice and inservice examinations of 10 CFR Part 50, §50.55a, as detailed in Section XI of the Code, constitutes an acceptable basis for satisfying in part the requirements of General Design Criterion 32. Specific acceptance criteria for meeting the ISI requirements of General Design Criterion 32 and 10 CFR Part 50, §50.55a for the areas of review described in subsection I of this SRP section are as follows: 1. System Boundary Subject to Inspection The applicant's or licensee's definition of the RCPB is acceptable if it is in agreement with the following criteria: for pressurized water reactor (PWR) and boiling water DRAFT Rev. 2 - April 1996 5.2.4-4 reactor (BWR) nuclear power systems, the inspection requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, §50.55a as detailed in Section XI of the Code must be met for all Class 1 pressure containing components (and their supports). The system boundary includes all pressure vessels, piping, pumps, and valves which are part of the reactor coolant system, or connected to the reactor coolant system, up to and including: a. The outermost containment isolation valve in system piping that penetrates the primary reactor containment. b. The second of two valves normally closed during normal reactor operation in system piping that does not penetrate primary reactor containment. c. The reactor coolant system safety and relief valves. 2. Accessibility The design and arrangement of system components are acceptable if adequate clearance is provided in accordance with Subarticle IWA-1500, "Accessibility," of the Code. 22 3. Examination Categories and Methods The examination categories and methods specified in the SAR are acceptable if in agreement with the criteria in Article IWB-2000, "Examination and
