Content:
ion of the programs and their implementation necessary to ensure that the systems and components meet the requirements of the ASME BPV Code and ASME OM Code in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a at a level sufficient to enable the NRC to reach a final conclusion on all safety matters that must be resolved before COL issuance. RG 1.206 provides guidance for the content of COL applications for a description of the ISI and IST programs to meet 10 CFR 50.55a. The requirements in 10 CFR 52.79(a)(11) and the guidance in RG 1.206 provide confidence in an applicant’s compliance with 10 CFR 50.55a. III.

These review procedures are based on the identified acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. 1. For reviews of OL and CP applications under 10 CFR Part 50, and DC and COL applications under 10 CFR Part 52, the NRC staff verifies that Section 5.2.1.1 of the applicant’s submitted documentation specifies the use of an acceptable edition and addenda of the ASME BPV Code, Section III and Section XI, and the ASME OM Code incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a. The staff also checks the applicant’s table identifying pressure vessel components, piping, pumps and valves, and the corresponding component code, code edition, and applicable addenda of each ASME BPV Code, Section III, Class 1, 2, and 3 components for compliance with 10 CFR 50.55a. The ASME BPV Code Class requirements applied for non-RCPB 5.2.1.1-7 Revision 4 –December 2016 components are based on the acceptable component Quality Group classifications verified under SRP Section 3.2.2. 2. The applicant may propose alternatives to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a, as set
