the requirements applicable to Class 1 piping of editions of Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code..."
The Susquehanna PSAR, Appendix A, states, in part:
"Piping... (is) separated into classifications...
and the applicable codes...
as indicated in Table A.2.l.a..."
Table A.2.2 specifies the feedwater system as Group A which corresponds to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section III (ASME B&PVC).

"Each... Installer... shall establish the procedure and conduct the tests required by this article and by Section IX of this Code..."
Section IX states, in part, in Paragraph gW-201.1:
"The welding procedure specification shall list in detail the...
variables described for each welding process as either essential or nonessen-tial."
Contrary to the above:
