ring ISI examinations are reviewed. 6. System Leakage and Hydrostatic Pressure Tests The descriptive information on leak tests and hydrostatic pressure tests of Code Class 1 components is reviewed. 7. Code Exemptions The ASME Section XI Code exemptions as permitted by IWB-1220 are reviewed. 8. Relief Requests Requests for relief from the Code Section XI examination requirements which are found to be impractical due to the limitations of design, geometry, or materials of construction of components are evaluated in accordance with §50.55a, 10 CFR Part 50. 9. Additional Areas of Review The reactor vessel material surveillance program is reviewed by MTEB as part of its primary review responsibility for Standard Review Plan Section 5.3.3, "Reactor Vessel Integrity." II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The reqtrirements for periodic inspection and testing of the RCPB required by General Design Criterion 32 are specified in 10 CFR Part 50, §50.55a, "Codes and Standards" and detailed in Section XI of the ASME Code. Compliance with the preservice and inservice examinations of 10 CFR Part 50, §50.55a, as detailed in Section XI of the Code, constitutes an acceptable basis for satisfy- ing in part the requirements of General Design Criterion 32. Specific accept- ance criteria for meeting the ISI requirements of General Design Criterion 32 and 10 CFR Part 50, §50.55a for the areas of review described in subsection I of this SRP section are as follows: Rev. 1 - July 1981 5.2.4-2 1. System Boundary Subject to Inspection The applicant's or licensee's definition of the RCPB is acceptable if it is in agreement with the following criteria: for pressurized-water-reactor (PWR) and boiling-water-reactor (BWR) nuclear power systems, the inspec- tion requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, §50.55a as detailed in Section XI of the Code must be met for all Class 1 pressure-containing components (and their supports). The system boundary includes all pressure vessels, pip- ing, pumps, and valves which are
