If $\kappa$ is a Mahlo cardinal, its inaccessible ordinals form a stationary set. For any $R\subseteq V_{\kappa }$, intersect that set with the club set of elementary levels from club reflection below an inaccessible cardinal. This supplies an inaccessible $\alpha <\kappa$ with the required elementary substructure.

Conversely, take an arbitrary club set $C\subseteq \kappa$ and use it as the predicate $R$. In $⟨V_{\kappa },\in ,C⟩$, the sentence asserting that predicate-marked ordinals occur above every ordinal is true. Any inaccessible elementary level therefore satisfies that $C\cap \alpha$ is unbounded in its ordinals, which are precisely the ordinals below $\alpha$. Since $C$ is closed and $\alpha$ is a limit ordinal, $\alpha \in C$. The assumed reflection property consequently gives an inaccessible ordinal in every club set. Hence the inaccessible ordinals are stationary and
