ross-cutting review areas should be addressed by the reviewer for each technical subsection and relevant conclusions documented in the corresponding safety evaluation report (SER) section. 2. The list of transients, the number of events estimated for each transient presented in the applicant’s SAR, and the method for determining this number are compared to the same information on similar and previously licensed applications and to the acceptance criteria outlined in Subsection II of this SRP section. Any deviations from previous accepted practice are noted and the applicant should justify them. For Code Class 1 and core support components and supports, the reviewer verifies whether for each transient loading condition or combination an acceptable Code service limit is specified (i.e., Design, Level A, Level B, Level C, or Level D as specified in ASME Code, Section III, Division 1). 3. The information on computer programs presented in the applicant’s SAR is reviewed as follows: A. The list of programs is evaluated to determine whether the applicant adequately describes each program with respect to the type of analysis performed and the specific components to which the program is applied. B. The submitted computer test problem solutions recommended in Subsection II.2.C of this SRP section are reviewed and compared to the test solutions. Satisfactory agreement of computer and test solutions, usually within a +5 percent error band, verifies the quality and adequacy of the computer programs for the functions for which they were designed. 3.9.1-8 Draft Revision 4 – August 2015 4. If the applicant elects to use experimental stress analysis techniques in lieu of theoretical stress analyses, sufficient information should be presented in the SAR to demonstrate that the requirements of Appendix II to ASME Code, Section III, Division 1, applicable to the conditions in the “Design Specifications” have been met. 5. If the applicant employs an elastic or an
