2. 10 CFR 50.55a(g) requires that ISI programs meet the applicable inspection requirements in Section XI of the ASME Code. The steam generator program is a portion of the ISI program. In addition, 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(iii) specifically addresses steam generator tubes and states that if the plant Technical Specifications include inspection requirements that differ from those in Article IWB-2000 of Section XI of the ASME Code, the Technical Specifications govern. 3. 10 CFR 50.36 applies to the steam generator program in the Technical Specifications. 4. Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 applies to the implementation of the steam generator program. Of particular note are Criteria IX, XI, and XVI. Criterion IX requires, in part, that measures shall be established to ensure that special processes, including nondestructive testing, are controlled and accomplished by qualified personnel using qualified procedures. Criterion XI requires, in part, the establishment of a test program to ensure that all testing required to demonstrate that SSCs will perform satisfactorily in service is identified and performed in accordance with written test procedures that incorporate the requirements and acceptance limits in applicable design documents. Criterion XVI requires, in part, that measures shall be established to ensure the prompt identification and correction of conditions that are adverse to quality. 5. 10 CFR 50.65 requires that licensees monitor the performance or condition of SSCs against goals to provide reasonable assurance that such SSCs are capable of fulfilling their intended functions. 5.4.2.2-4 Revision 2 - March 2007 6. 10 CFR 52.47(b)(1), which requires that a DC application contain the proposed inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC) that are necessary and sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that, if the inspections, tests, and analyses are performed and the acceptance criteria met, a plant that incorporates the design certification is built
