ional guidance provided by RG 1.142, for concrete, and with ANSI/AISC N690-1994 including Supplement 2 (2004) for steel, as applicable. B. If welding of reinforcing bars is proposed, the design should comply with the applicable sections of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (hereafter referred as Code), Section III, Division 2. Any exceptions taken to compliance should be justified. The review of geological and seismological information to establish the free-field ground motion is performed as described in SRP Sections 2.5.1 and 2.5.2. 3.8.5-5 Revision 2 - March 2007 The review of the geotechnical parameters and methods employed in the analysis of free-field soil media and soil properties is conducted as described in SRP Sections 2.5.4 and 2.5.5. 7. Testing and Inservice Surveillance Programs. For Category I foundations, the review addresses information on structure monitoring and maintenance requirements. It is important for Category I foundations to accommodate inservice inspection of critical areas. The review therefore assesses any special design provisions (e.g., providing sufficient physical access, furnishing alternative means for identification of conditions in inaccessible areas that can lead to degradation, conducting remote visual monitoring of high-radiation areas) to accommodate inservice inspection of Category I foundations. The review of postconstruction testing and inservice surveillance programs for foundations, such as periodic examination of inaccessible areas, monitoring of ground-water chemistry, and monitoring of settlements and differential displacements, is on a case-by-case basis. 8. Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC). For design certification (DC) and combined license (COL) reviews, the staff reviews the applicant's proposed ITAAC associated with the structures, systems, and components (SSCs) related to this SRP section in accordance with SRP Section 14.3, "Inspections,
