Content:
yses are performed and the acceptance criteria met, the facility has been constructed and will be operated in conformity with the combined license, the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act, and the NRC regulations. SRP Acceptance Criteria Below are specific SRP acceptance criteria that meet the relevant requirements of the NRC regulations identified above. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for its facility and the SRP acceptance criteria and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC regulations. 1. Selection, Processing, Testing, and Inspection of Materials The materials selected for the steam generator form portions of the primary and secondary system pressure boundary. In addition, certain materials used for non- pressure-retaining components (including tube supports) can have a direct impact on the integrity of the RCPB (e.g., denting of the steam generator tubes from corrosion of a tube support or mechanical damage to the tubes from the generation of loose parts). As a result, the materials selected for the steam generator must be fabricated and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be 5.4.2.1-6 Draft Revision 4 – April 2016 performed, as required by GDC 1. In addition, the materials selected for the RCPB must be fabricated and tested to the highest quality standards practical, as required by GDC 30, “Quality of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary.” The materials selected for use in fabricating the steam generator are acceptable from a fabrication/manufacturing standpoint if they comply with 10 CFR 50.55a. In general, this regulation—specifically 10 CFR 50.55a(c), 10 CFR 50.55a(d), and 10 CFR 50.55a(e)—requires that the
