Title: Industry Codes and Standards; Amended Requirements
Abstract: The final rule amends 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. The rulemaking includes expedited implementation of section XI appendix VIII, Performance Demonstration for Ultrasonic Examination Systems. In addition, the rule incorporates 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.
