e following areas is reviewed for conformance with the acceptance criteria stated in Subsection II.4.A of this SRP section regarding: (1) The desirable stage in the sequence of processing for solution heat treatment, including the rates of cooling and the quenching media. (2) Controls to prevent sensitization during welding, as described in Regulatory Guide 1.44. (3) Controls to verify non-sensitization and to qualify welding processes employed in production, as described in Subsection II.4.A of this SRP section. (4) For BWRs, additional processing controls, as described in Attachment A to Generic Letter 88-01 (or NUREG-0313, Revision 2). In the event that information in the above areas is not supplied, sufficient justification for the deviation must be presented. B. The information submitted by the applicant is reviewed for conformance with the acceptance criteria discussed in Subsection II.4.B of this SRP section as follows: Verification is sought that process controls are exercised during all stages of component manufacture and reactor construction to minimize the exposure of austenitic stainless steels to contaminants that could lead to stress corrosion cracking. 5.2.3-18 Revision 3 - March 2007 Information is also checked to assure that precautions have been taken to require removal of all cleaning solutions, processing compounds, degreasing agents, and any other foreign material from the surfaces of the component at any stage of processing prior to any elevated temperature treatment and prior to hydrotests. The reviewer verifies that a statement is contained in the SAR that pickling of sensitized austenitic stainless is avoided and that the quality of water used for final cleaning or flushing of finished surfaces during installation is in accordance with acceptance criteria discussed in Subsection II.4.B of this SRP section. The applicant's description of abrasive work controls for austenitic stainless steel surfaces is reviewed and is verified adequate to
