n Standard Review Plan Sections 5.2.4 and 6.6.8 In addition, the EMCB will coordinate with other branch evaluations that interface with the overall review of this section as follows: 1. The Mechanical Engineering Branch (EMEB) will verify, under SRP Section 5.2.1.2, "Applicable Code Cases", the acceptability of any ASME Code Cases that the applicant may have invoked in connection with the ISI program.9 2. The Civil Engineering and Geosciences Branch (ECGB) reviews the ISI program for other areas of the reactor coolant pressure boundary and steam generator under Standard Review Plan Section 5.2.4. 3. The ECGB also reviews the ISI program for ASME Code Class 2 and 3 components under SRP Section 6.6, "Inservice Inspection of Class 2 and Class 3 Components."10 For those areas of review identified above as being part of the review under other SRP sections, the acceptance criteria and their methods of application are contained in the referenced SRP sections.11 II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The guidelines for periodic inspection and testing of the steam generator tube portion of the reactor coolant pressure boundary are specified in Regulatory Guide 1.83 and the applicable Standard Technical Specifications, NUREG-0103, 0212, or 0452. Acceptability of the steam 12 generator tube ISI program is dependent on (1) compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, §50.55a, "Codes and Standards" as it relates to periodic inspection and testing of the RCPB as detailed in Section XI of the ASME Code, and (2) compliance with the requirements set forth in General Design Criterion GDC 32 as it relates to accessibility of steam generator tubes for periodic testing.13 Compliance with the guidelines for inservice inspection in Regulatory Guide 1.83 and the applicable Standard Technical Specification NUREG constitutes an acceptable basis for meeting, in part, the inservice inspection requirements of General Design Criterion 32. Specific acceptance criteria for meeting the inservice inspection requirements of
