The reviewer verifies that the clearances supplied for general access to the system components listed in Article IWB-2000, "Examination and Inspection," of Section XI are adequate. 42 The reviewer verifies that adequate provisions are made for remote inspection of those components affected by radiation fields after plant startup. These components include the beltline welds and reactor vessel nozzle interior surfaces. The reviewer verifies that remote inspection devices proposed for periodic inservice inspections will be used for the preservice baseline inspection program to demonstrate feasibility. 3. Examination Categories and Methods The reviewer verifies that the examination techniques described by the applicant or licensee are the same as those in subsection II.3 of this SRP section. If alternative examination methods are proposed, they are reviewed to verify that the results are equivalent or superior to those in Subarticles IWA-2200, "Examination Methods," and IWB-2200, "Preservice Examination," of Section XI, and that the acceptance standards 43 of Article IWB-3000, "Acceptance Standards," of Section XI are met. 44 The reviewer verifies that the personnel qualification and requalification portion of the ISI program is in conformance with applicable portions of Division 1 of Section XI of the ASME Code.
