____________ is an imperfection whose type or size exceeds the applicable
acceptance criteria and is therefore rejectable.
defect
_____________ A physical change in any component that has design implications
that affect the pressure-containing capability of a pressure vessel beyond the
scope described in existing data reports. The following should not be considered
alterations: any comparable or duplicate replacement, the addition of any
reinforced nozzle less than or equal to the size of existing reinforced nozzles, and
the addition of nozzles not requiring reinforcement.
alteration
_______________Any work not considered an alteration that removes and
replaces a major part of the pressure boundary other than a nozzle (e.g. replacing
part of the shell or replacing a vessel head). If any of the restorative work results
in a change to the design temperature, minimum allowable temperature (MAT), or
