ase-by- case basis—consistent with SRP Section 5.2.1.2 and 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)—using insights from similar material specifications (i.e., similar types of material and the use of such materials in similar applications). 5.4.2.1-15 Revision 4 - July 2016 2. Steam Generator Design The reviewer examines the design of the steam generator to determine the degree of conformance with the acceptance criteria above. 3. Fabrication and Processing of Ferritic Materials The reviewer analyzes the fabrication and processing of the ferritic materials used in the steam generator to ascertain the degree of conformance with the acceptance criteria above. 4. Fabrication and Processing of Austenitic Stainless Steel Materials The reviewer examines the fabrication and processing of the austenitic stainless steel materials used in the steam generator to determine the degree of conformance with the acceptance criteria above. The review includes an examination of possible uses of austenitic stainless steels in the sensitized condition. The use of austenitic stainless steels in any condition requires special attention if the oxygen content is high. 5. Compatibility of the Materials with the Primary (Reactor) and Secondary Coolant and Cleanliness Control The reviewer examines the controls to be placed on the composition of the primary (reactor) and secondary coolants to identify the degree of conformance with the acceptance criteria above. If the materials used on the primary side of the steam generator differ from those in the remainder of the RCPB, an evaluation of the acceptability of these materials in the proposed chemical environment should be performed (otherwise, the compatibility review is essentially the same as that performed under SRP Section 5.2.3). In addition, the reviewer should consider the operating environment (e.g., temperature, pressure, and flow) in evaluating the compatibility of the materials with the secondary coolant. Plants have operated with hot-leg
