eriodic inservice inspections.50 6. System Leakage and Hydrostatic Pressure Test The reviewer determines that the Technical Specification on hydrostatic pressure testing for system leakage of the RCPB adheres to subsection II.6 of this SRP section. The Technical Specification on operating limitations during heatup, cooldown, and system hydrostatic pressure testing must be referenced. 7. Exemptions The reviewer verifies that the exemptions from Code examinations are in accordance with the criteria in Subsubarticle IWB-1220, "Components Exempt from Examination."51 8. Relief Requests The reviewer determines if an applicant or licensee has demonstrated that a code requirement is impractical due to the limitations of design, geometry, or materials of construction. 9. Other Inspection Programs For BWR plants, the reviewer ascertains that the ISI program addresses the staff positions concerning augmented inspections for intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) provided in Generic Letter 88-01 (Reference 6), in Supplement 1 to Generic Letter 88-01 (Reference 7), and in NUREG-0313, Revision 2 (Reference 4).52 5.2.4-9 DRAFT Rev. 2 - April 1996 For BWR plants, the reviewer ascertains that the ISI program adequately addresses the augmented inspections of feedwater and control rod drive nozzles as discussed in NUREG-0619 (Reference 13). The staff may approve alternatives to the inspection guidelines in NUREG-0619.53 The reviewer verifies that an appropriate long term monitoring program for potential wall thinning of carbon and low alloy steel high energy piping by erosion/corrosion, consistent with Generic Letter 89-08 (Reference 9) and NUREG-1344 (Reference 5), or Subsection IWH of Division 1 of ASME Code Section XI (1995 edition or later) has been established.54 For PWR plants, the reviewer verifies that the applicant or licensee has established a program to detect and correct potential RCPB corrosion caused by boric acid leaks, as described in Generic Letter 88-05
