lated for the vessel belt-line, the maximum predicted shift in reference transition temperature (RTNDT), the number of capsules, and the number and types of specimens to be placed in the capsules, and that the program is in compliance with ASTM E-185 and Appendix H, 10 CFR Part 50. For plants with a proposed design life that exceeds 40 years, the reviewer verifies that the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix H and ASTM E-185 have been supplemented as necessary to provide for surveillance of the reactor vessel materials over the entire design life of the facility. Revision 2 - March 2007 5.3.1-16 B. For design certification applications, a combined license action item, and associated ITAAC (e.g., as to material samples), must be included to verify that the plant specific surveillance program is in accordance with the assumptions in the certified design material and the requirements of Appendix H of 10 CFR Part 50. C. Operational Programs. The reviewer verifies that the Reactor Vessel Material Surveillance Program is fully described and that implementation milestones have been identified. The reviewer verifies that the program and implementation milestones are included in FSAR Table 13.x. D. The reviewer verifies that the FSAR provides the information listed above and, in addition, includes results of all fracture toughness tests, chemical analyses of all materials in the belt-line region, and provides the information needed by the reviewer to evaluate the adequacy of the program. 7. Reactor Vessel Fasteners. The reviewer verifies that the information in the SAR covers all requirements for reactor vessel studs and other fasteners, as described in the previous section. For FSARs, the results of tensile and fracture toughness tests performed on the fastener materials are checked to ensure that all requirements are met. For review of a DC application, the reviewer should follow the above procedures to verify that the design, including requirements and restrictions
