REMARKS: IMC 0612 App B, "Issue Screening Direction." Updated the VLSSIR and URI consideration and flowchart to clarify that the presence of traditional enforcement (e.g., impeding the regulatory process) does not preclude VLSSIR and URI documentation. Clarified that violations receiving enforcement discretion are not assessed under the ROP, consistent with IMC 0308 Att 3. Removed guidance that was inconsistent with defining the performance deficiency as the proximate cause of the degraded condition, consistent with IMC 0308 Att 3.
IP 71111.08, "Inservice Inspection Activities. Reformatted SAMPLE REQUIREMENTS table by removing references to BWR and PWR, changing Section 03.01a to 03.01 for BWRs and PWRs, and changing Section 03.01 a-d for PWRs to Sections 03.02 (for 03.01b), 03.03 (for 03.01c) and 03.04 (for 03.01d), and adding When Required for each sample section. Revised table to address renumbering (i.e., 03.01 NDE/Welding 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> +/- 6; 03.02 RPV Head 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> +/- 4; 03.03 Boric Acid 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> +/- 2; 03.04 Steam Generator Tubes 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> +/- 4) and consequently, the table footnote was changed to clarify when each sample is required. The corresponding sections listed in the table were updated in the body of the IP. Made editorial changes in Sections 03.01a (now 03.01), 03.01 b (now 03.02), 03.01c (now 03.03) and 03.01d (now 03.04) by moving sentence after title that clarifies the applicable technology to below title.
Incorporated recommendations of FBF-71111.08-2429 by adding in GENERAL GUIDANCE section for the selection of welds (3rd paragraph) and adding new subsection 03.01 5(a) and (b) specific guidance for sites that when the rules of 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50.69 have been applied, verify that the reduction in the inspection sample population within the ISI program remains acceptable and verify that ISI boundary drawings reflect the changes prompted by site application of the 10 CFR 50.69 rules.
