ion II.3.B.(2) of this SRP section. The information in the SAR is reviewed to verify that macroetch tests have been conducted (to assure that an acceptable weld solidification pattern is obtained) and that impact tests specified in Regulatory Guide 1.34 meet the acceptance criteria discussed previously in Subsection II.3.B.(2) of this SRP section. (3) The ASME Code, Section III, requires adherence to the requirements of Section IX, “Welding and Brazing Qualifications of the Code.” One of the requirements is welder qualification for production welds. However, there is a need for supplementing this section of the Code because the 5.2.3-17 Revision 3 - March 2007 assurance of providing satisfactory welds in locations of restricted direct physical and visual accessibility can be increased significantly by qualifying the welder under conditions simulating the space limitations under which the actual welds will be made. Regulatory Guide 1.71 provides the necessary supplement to the Code, Section IX, in this respect. The information submitted by the applicant is reviewed for conformance with acceptance criteria discussed in Subsection II.3.B.(3) of this SRP section. (4) The information submitted by the applicant regarding controls to limit the occurrence of underclad cracking in low alloy steel components when weld cladding with austenitic stainless steel is reviewed for conformance with acceptance criteria given in Subsection II.3.B.(4) of this SRP section. C. The reviewer verifies that acceptable methods specified in the ASME Code, Section III, paragraphs NB-2550 through NB-2570 are proposed by the applicant for examination of ferritic steel tubular products. 4. Fabrication and Processing of Austenitic Stainless Steels A. The information submitted by the applicant in the following areas is reviewed for conformance with the acceptance criteria stated in Subsection II.4.A of this SRP section regarding: (1) The desirable stage in the sequence of processing for solution
