ll not 95 occur during the weld cladding process. These controls satisfy the quality standards requirements of GDC 1, GDC 30, and §10 CFR 50.55a. 96 6. When welding components of austenitic stainless steels, Code controls are supplemented by conformance with the recommendations of regulatory guides and other regulatory positions as follows: 97 a. The controls imposed on delta ferrite in austenitic stainless steel welds are in conformance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.31, "Control of Ferrite Content in Stainless Steel Weld Metal," as supplemented (for BWRs only) by the positions of Generic Letter 88-01 or the recommendations of NUREG-0313, Revision 2, because the controls used provide reasonable 98 assurance that the welds will not contain micro cracks. These controls also satisfy the quality standards requirement of GDC 1, GDC 30, and §10 CFR 50.55a and 99 the requirements of GDC 14 regarding fabrication to prevent RCPB rapid propagating failure. b. The controls imposed on electroslag welding of austenitic stainless steels are in conformance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.34, for the same reason as stated in item 5b discussed above. 7. The controls (during, all stages of welding) to avoid contamination and sensitization that could cause stress-corrosion cracking in austenitic stainless steels conform with the recommendations of regulatory guides and other regulatory positions as follows: 100 a. The controls to avoid contamination and sensitization of austenitic stainless steel are in conformance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.44, "Control of the Use of Sensitized Stainless Steel," or an acceptable alternative,101 as supplemented (for BWRs only) by the positions of Generic Letter 88-01 or the recommendations of NUREG-0313, Revision 2, because the controls used 102 5.3.1-19 DRAFT Rev. 2 - April 1996 provide assurance that welded components will not be contaminated nor sensitized prior to and during the welding
