Title: Industry Codes and Standards; Amended Requirements | |
Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations that incorporate by reference section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME BPV Code) for construction of Class 1, 2, and 3 components in nuclear power plants, and use of section XI of the ASME BPV Code for inservice inspection (ISI) and inservice testing (IST) of those components. Section 50.55a requires that each licensee update its ISI and IST programs every 120 months to conform to the latest edition of the ASME BPV Code endorsed by the NRC in that section of the regulations. The rulemaking would also include expedited implementation of section XI appendix VIII, Performance Demonstration for Ultrasonic Examination Systems. In addition, the proposed rule would incorporate by reference the ASME Operation and Maintenance (OM) Code to replace the section XI requirements for IST. The latter action is made necessary by the ASME Code changes that transferred all responsibility for IST from section XI to the ASME Operation and Maintenance Committee. | |
