XIV . Inspection,Test,and Operating Stat:us

Measures shall be established to indicate,by the use of markings suchas stamps,

tags,labels,routing ca rds, orother suitable means, the status of inspecti ns and tests performed
upon individual items of
the nuclear power plant or fuel reprocessing plant.These measures shallprovide for the
