the applicant has demonstrated equivalence to the required margin of safety. DRAFT Rev. 2 - April 1996 5.3.1-16 6. Material Surveillance The reviewer verifies that the information contained in the SAR and the Technical Specifications is complete enough to determine that the surveillance program will comply with Appendix H, 10 CFR Part 50. The following information must be provided as a minimum: a. The reviewer verifies that the PSAR states the end-of-life fluence calculated for the vessel beltline, the maximum predicted shift in reference transition temperature (RT ), the number of capsules, and the number and types of NDT specimens to be placed in the capsules, and that the program is in compliance with ASTM E-185 and Appendix H, 10 CFR Part 50. For plants with a 78 proposed design life that exceeds 40 years, the reviewer verifies that the requirements of Appendix H and ASTM E-185 have been supplemented as necessary to provide for surveillance of the reactor vessel materials over the entire design life of the facility.79 b. For design certification applications, a Combined License action item, and associated ITAAC, must be included to verify that the plant specific surveillance program is in accordance with the assumptions in the certified design material and the requirements of Appendix H of 10 CFR Part 50.80 bc. The reviewer verifies that the FSAR provides the information listed above and, in 81 addition, includes results of all fracture toughness tests, chemical analyses of all materials in the beltline region, and provides the information needed by the reviewer to evaluate the adequacy of the program. 7. Reactor Vessel Fasteners The reviewer verifies that the information in the SAR covers all requirements for reactor vessel studs and other fasteners, as described in the previous section. For FSARs, the results of tensile and fracture toughness tests performed on the fastener materials are checked to ensure that all requirements are met. For standard design
