’s evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. 1. System Boundary Subject to Inspection. The information furnished in the SAR is reviewed for agreement with the SRP Acceptance Criteria in Subsection II.1 of this SRP section and to verify that any differences between the applicant's or licensee's definition of the RCPB and Subsection II.1 are identified and justified; e.g., “Pressurizer: not applicable, as plant is a BWR,” or “No longitudinal welds in beltline region as vessel is constructed of forged rings.” 2. Accessibility. The descriptive information concerning accessibility furnished in the SAR is reviewed for compliance with the SRP Acceptance Criteria in Subsection II.2 of this SRP section. The reviewer verifies that the clearances supplied for general access to the system components listed in Article IWB-2000, “Examination and Inspection,” of Section XI of the ASME Code are adequate. The reviewer verifies that adequate provisions are made for remote inspection of those components affected by radiation fields after plant startup. These components include the beltline welds and reactor vessel nozzle interior 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 are the same as those in the SRP Acceptance Criteria in Subsection II.3 of this SRP section. If alternative examination methods are proposed, they are reviewed to verify that the results are equivalent or superior to those in Subarticles IWA-2200, “Examination Methods,” and IWB-2200, “Preservice Examination,” of Section XI, and that the acceptance standards of Article IWB-3000, “Acceptance Standards,” of
