s 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 such alternative requirements as it determines is authorized by law and will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security and is otherwise in the public interest giving due consideration to the burden upon the applicant or licensee that could result if the requirements were imposed on the facility. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer will select and emphasize material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. 1. System Boundary Subject to Inspection The information furnished in the SAR is reviewed for agreement with sub- section 11.1 of this SRP section and to verify that any differences between the applicant's or licensee's definition of the RCPB and subsection 1I.11 are identified and justified, e.g., "Pressurizer: not applicable, as plant is a BWR." or, "no longitudinal welds in beltline region as vessel is con- structed of forged rings." Rev. 1 - July 1981 5.2.4-4 2. Accessibility The descriptive information concerning accessibility furnished in the SAR is reviewed for compliance with subsection II.2 of this SRP section. The reviewer verifies that the clearances supplied for general access to the system components listed in IWB-2000 of Section XI are adequate. The reviewer verifies that adequate provisions are made for remote inspec- tion of those components affected by radiation fields after plant startup. These components include the beltline welds and reactor vessel nozzle inte- rior surfaces. The reviewer verifies that remote inspection devices proposed for periodic inservice inspections will be used for the preservice baseline inspection program to demonstrate feasibility. 3. Examination Categories and Methods The reviewer verifies that the examination techniques described by the applicant or licensee
