blic of regulatory procedures and policies. Standard review plans are not substitutes for regulatory guides or the Commisson's regulations and compliance with them is not required. The standard review plan sections are keyed to the Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants. Not all sections of the Standard Format have * correspondinag review plan. Published standard review plans wilt be revised periodically, as appropriate. to accommodate comments and to reflect new Informa- tion and experience. Comments and suggestions for Improvement will be considered and should be sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Office of Nuclear Rector Regulation. Washington. D.C. 2O5E. 4. Inspection Requirements The inspection test methods and requirements are reviewed by MTEB as described in SRP Section 5.3.1. 5. Shipment and Installation Protective measures taken during shipment of the reactor vessel and its installation at the site are reviewed by MTEB to verify that the as-built characteristics of the reactor vessel are not degraded by improper handling. 6. Operating Conditions All the operating conditions as they relate to the integrity of the reactor vessel are reviewed by MTEB as described in SRP Section 5.3.2, "Pressure-Temperature Limits." 7. Inservice Surveillance Plans and provisions for inservice surveillance of the reactor vessel are reviewed by MTEB as described in SRP Sections 5.3.1 and 5.2.4. In addition, the MTEB will coordinate evaluations of other branches that interface with the overall review of the reactor vessel as follows: The Mechanical Engineering Branch (MEB) reviews the reactor vessel design regarding compliance with §50.55a of 10 CFR Part 50 and regarding applicable Code Cases, as part of its primary review responsibility for SRP Sections 5.2.1.1 and 5.2.1.2.
