suitability report or topical report). For review of both DC and COL applications, SRP Section 14.3 should be followed for the review of ITAAC. The review of ITAAC cannot be completed until after the completion of this section. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The reviewer verifies that the applicant has provided sufficient information and that the review and calculations (if applicable) support conclusions of the following type to be included in the staff's safety evaluation report. The reviewer also states the bases for those conclusions. “To ensure that no deleterious defects develop during service, selected welds and weld heat-affected zones will be inspected prior to plant startup and periodically throughout the life of the plant. The applicant (licensee) has stated that the inservice inspection (ISI) program will comply (complies) with the rules published in 10 CFR 50.55a. The design of the reactor coolant system incorporates provisions for access for inservice inspection in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, (xx) Edition, including Addenda through the (xx) Addenda. Suitable equipment will be (has been) developed and installed to facilitate the remote inspection of these areas of the reactor coolant pressure boundary that are not readily accessible to inspection personnel. The ISI program will consist of a preservice examination plan and an inservice inspection plan. The conduct of periodic inspections and pressure testing of pressure-retaining components of the reactor coolant pressure boundary in accordance with the requirements in applicable subsections of Section XI of the ASME Code provides reasonable assurance that evidence of structural degradation or loss of leak-tight integrity occurring during service will be detected in time to permit corrective action before the safety function of a component is compromised. Compliance with the inservice inspections required by this Code constitutes an acceptable basis for satisfying
