ptance criteria necessary for the review and their method of application are contained in the referenced SRP section of the corre- sponding branch. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA MTEB acceptance criteria are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following Commission regulations: 1. Section 50.55a, as it relates to quality standards for design, and determi- nation and monitoring of fracture toughness; 2. General Design Criteria (GDC) 1 and 30, as they relate to quality standards for design, fabrication, erection, and testing of structures, systems and components; 3. General Design Criterion 4, as it relates to compatibility of components with environmental conditions; 4. General Design Criterion 14, as it relates to prevention of rapidly propa- gating fractures of the RCPB; 5. General Design Criterion 31, as it relates to material fracture toughness; 6. General Design Criterion 32, as it relates to the requirements for a mate- rials surveillance program; 7. Appendix B, as it relates to onsite material cleaning control; 5.3.1-3 Rev. 1 - July 1981 8. Appendix G, as it relates to materials testing and acceptance criteria for fracture toughness; and 9. Appendix H, as it relates to the determination arid monitoring of fracture toughness. Specific criteria necessary to meet the relevant requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, § 50.55a; GDC 1, 4, 14, 30, 31, and 32; and Appendices B, G, and H are as follows for each review described in subsection I of this SRP section: 1. Material Specifications The requirements of GDC 1 and 30 and § 50.55a regarding quality standards are met by compliance with the provisions of the ASME Code, Section III, for material specifications, as detailed below: a. Acceptable material specifications for the reactor vessel and its appurtenances are those listed in the Code, Section III, Appendix I, and are presented in detail in Code Section II, Parts A, B, and C. The materials must also meet the specifications requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix
