Title: American Society of Mechanical Engineers 2009-2013 Code Edition and Addenda Incorporation by Reference [NRC-2011-0088] | |
Abstract:
The rule would amend the NRC's regulations to incorporate by reference the 2009-13 Editions & Addenda of the ASME Code. This is a non-discretionary rule directed by SECY-10-0016. The NRC has a well-established practice for approving and/or mandating the use of certain parts of editions and addenda of ASME Codes in 10 CFR 50.55a through the rulemaking process of incorporation by reference. This practice assures consistency across the industry and that the NRC would continue to support the use of the most updated and technically sound techniques developed by the ASME to provide adequate protection to the public. This rulemaking also enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of NRC's regulations by making use of current voluntary consensus standards and is consistent with applicable requirements of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act.
