, and analyses are performed and the acceptance criteria met, a plant that incorporates the DC is built and will be operated in conformity with the DC, the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act, and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations. 11. 10 CFR 52.80(a) requires that a COL application contain the proposed inspections, tests, and analyses, including those applicable to emergency planning, that the licensee shall perform, and the acceptance criteria that are necessary and sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that, if the inspections, tests, and analyses are performed and the acceptance criteria met, the facility has been constructed and will be operated in conformity with the combined license, the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act, and the NRC regulations. SRP Acceptance Criteria Below are specific SRP acceptance criteria that meet the relevant requirements of the NRC regulations identified above. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for its facility and the SRP acceptance criteria and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC regulations. 1. Selection, Processing, Testing, and Inspection of Materials The materials selected for the steam generator form portions of the primary and secondary system pressure boundary. In addition, certain materials used for non- pressure-retaining components (including tube supports) can have a direct impact on the integrity of the RCPB (e.g., denting of the steam generator tubes from corrosion of a 5.4.2.1-6 Revision 4 - July 2016 tube support or mechanical damage to the tubes from the generation of loose parts). As a result, the materials selected for the steam generator must be fabricated and tested to quality standards
