Content:
pected to be employed during ISI, this expectation should not be construed to inhibit the use of new technology or to imply that the techniques used during the preservice inspection will always remain acceptable (i.e., different techniques may be appropriate based on operating experience). 7. 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(2)(iii) specifically addresses the inspection of 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. This requirement is intended to resolve any conflict between the requirements in the ASME Code and the Technical Specifications. If a conflict (i.e., difference) does not exist pertaining to a specific requirement, both the requirements of the ASME Code and the Technical Specifications must be met. In general, the requirements in the ASME Code and the Technical Specifications are complementary. 8. For applicants referencing a certified design, the Standard Technical Specifications associated with the referenced design will specify the guidelines for periodic inspection and testing of the steam generator tube portion of the RCPB. 9. Operational Programs. For COL reviews, the description of the operational program and proposed implementation milestones for the Steam Generator Program are reviewed in accordance with 10 CFR.55a(g) as it relates to periodic inspection and testing of the steam generator tubes as detailed in Section XI of the ASME Code. The implementation milestone is the establishment and completion of an acceptable steam generator program per Article IWA-2430(b) of Section XI of the ASME Code before placing the plant into commercial service. The steam generator program is acceptable if it: A. Complies with 10 CFR 50.55a as it relates to periodic inspection and testing of the steam generator tubes as detailed in Section XI of the ASME Code. B. Complies with 10 CFR 50.65 as it relates to
