is not discussed in other safety evaluation report sections, the staff’s evaluation of inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC), including design acceptance criteria (DAC), site interface requirements, and combined license action items that are relevant to this SRP section.108 IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The reviewer verifies that sufficient and adequate information has been provided to satisfy the requirements of this standard review plan section and that his evaluation supports conclusions of the following type, to be included in the staff's safety evaluation report: The staff concludes that the plant design is acceptable and meets the requirements of General Design Criteria 1, 4, 14, 30, and 31 of Appendix A of 10 CFR Part 50; the requirements of Appendices B and G of 10 CFR Part 50; and the requirements of §50.55a of 10 CFR Part 50. This conclusion is based on the staff's review of the SAR. The materials used for construction of components of the reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB) have been identified by specification and found to be in conformance with the requirements of Section III of the ASME Code, and [for BWRs only] in conformance with the requirementsstaff positions of Generic Letter 88-01, "NRC Position on IGSCC in BWR Austenitic Stainless Steel Piping," which are based upon the technical information and/or recommendations provided in NUREG-0313, Revision 2, "Technical Report on Material Selection and Processing Guidelines for BWR Coolant Pressure Boundary Piping." Compliance with the above Code provisions for 109 110 material specifications satisfies the quality standards requirements of GDC 1, GDC 30, and §50.55a. The materials of construction of the RCPB exposed to the reactor coolant have been identified and all of the materials are compatible with the primary coolant water, which is chemically controlled in accordance with appropriate technical specifications. This compatibility has been proven by extensive testing and
