or superior. The acceptance standards for these alternate methods are given in Section XI, 1WB-3000, "Acceptance Standards for Flaw Indications." 4. Inspection Intervals The required examinations and pressure tests must be completed during each ten-year interval of service, hereinafter designated as the inspection Rev. 1 - July 1981 5.2.4-3 interval. In addition, the scheduling of the program must comply with the provisions of IWA-2000, concerning inspection intervals of Section XI of the Code. 5. Evaluation of Examination Results a. The standards for examination evaluation in the program for flaw evalua- tion are acceptable if in agreement with the requirements of Section XI, IWB-3000, "Standards for Examination Evaluations." b. The proposed program regarding repairs of unacceptable indications or replacement of components containing unacceptable indications is acceptable if in agreement with the requirements of Section XI, IWB-4000, "Repair Procedures." The criteria that establish the need for repair or replacement are described in Section XI, IWB-3000. 6. System Leakage and Hydrostatic Pressure Tests The pressure-retaining Code Class 1 component leakage and hydrostatic pres- sure test program is acceptable if the program agrees with the require- ments of Section XI, IWB-5000, "System Leakage and Hydrostatic Pressure Tests," and the Technical Specification requirements for operating limita- tions during heatup, cooldown, and system hydrostatic pressure testing. In some cases, these limitations may be more severe than those in IWB-5000. 7. Code Exemptions Exemptions from Code examinations are permitted if the criteria in IWB-1220 are met. The applicant's or licensee's program must list the exemptions taken in accordance with the code. 8. Relief Requests Relief requests for Code examinations which are found to be impractical due to the limitations of design, geometry, or materials of construction of components are reviewed. The staff may grant relief and may impose
