DESIGN, FABRICATION, AND MATERIALS CODE CASE

ACCEPTABILITY, ASME SECTION III

A. INTRODUCTION

Purpose

This regulatory guide (RG) lists the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel (BPV) Code,Section III, Division 1, Rules for Construction of Nuclear Power Plant Components (Ref. 1), Code Cases that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved for use as voluntary alternatives to the mandatory ASME BPV Code provisions that are incorporated by reference into Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities (Ref. 2).

Applicability

This RG applies to reactor licensees and applicants subject to 10 CFR Part 50, Section 50.55a, Codes and standards.

Applicable Regulations

General Design Criterion (GDC) 1, Quality Standards and Records, of Appendix A, General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants, to 10 CFR Part 50 requires, in part, that structures, systems, and components important to safety be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed. Where generally recognized codes and standards are used, GDC 1 requires that they be identified and evaluated to determine their applicability, adequacy, and sufficiency and be supplemented or modified as necessary to ensure a quality product in keeping with the required safety function.

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, GDC 30, Quality of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary, requires, in part, that components that are part of the reactor coolant pressure boundary be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to the highest quality standards practical.

RG 1.84, Rev. 39, Page 2

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Processing Plants, requires, in part, that measures be established for the control of special processing of materials and that proper testing be performed.

10 CFR 50.55a(c) requires, in part, that components of the reactor coolant pressure boundary must be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested in accordance with the requirements for the Class 1 components of ASME BPV Code,Section III, or equivalent quality standards.

10 CFR 52.79(a)(11) (Ref. 3) requires the final safety analysis report to include a description of the program(s), and their implementation, necessary to ensure that the systems and components meet the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants in accordance with 50.55a of this chapter.

Related Guidance

RG 1.147, Inservice Inspection Code Case Acceptability, ASME Section XI, Division 1 (Ref. 4), lists the ASME BPV Code,Section XI, Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components, Code Cases that the NRC has approved for use as voluntary alternatives to the mandatory ASME BPV Code provisions that are incorporated into 10 CFR 50.55a.

RG 1.192, Operation and Maintenance Code Case Acceptability, ASME OM Code (Ref. 5), lists the ASME Operation and Maintenance Code (OM Code) Code Cases that the NRC has approved for use as voluntary alternatives to the mandatory ASME OM Code provisions that are incorporated into 10 CFR 50.55a.

RG 1.193, ASME Code Cases Not Approved for Use (Ref. 6), lists the ASME BPV Code,Section III and Section XI, Code Cases and the ASME OM Code Cases that the NRC has not approved for generic use.

RG 1.136, Design Limits, Loading Combinations, Materials, Construction, and Testing of Concrete Containments (Ref. 7), endorses ASME BPV Code,Section III, Division 2, Code for Concrete Containments and addresses the acceptance of ASME BPV Code,Section III, Division

2 Code Cases.

Purpose of this Regulatory Guide

The NRC incorporated this RG into 10 CFR 50.55a by reference. The RG contains new Code Cases and revisions to existing Code Cases that the staff has approved for use, as listed in Tables 1 and 2 of this guide. The RG also states the requirements that govern the use of Code Cases. Licensees may voluntarily use Code Cases approved by the NRC as an alternative to compliance with the ASME Code provisions that have been incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a. Because the status of Code Cases continually changes, the staff plans to periodically update 10 CFR 50.55a and this guide to accommodate new Code Cases and any revisions to existing Code Cases.

Paperwork Reduction Act

This RG provides voluntary guidance for implementing the mandatory information collections in

10 CFR Parts 50 and 52 that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et. seq.).

These information collections were approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), under control numbers 3150-0011 and 3150-0151, respectively. Send comments regarding this information

RG 1.84, Rev. 39, Page 3 collection to the FOIA, Library, and Information Collections Branch ((T6-A10M), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by e-mail to Infocollects.Resource@nrc.gov, and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202 (3150-0011 and

B. DISCUSSION

Reason for Revision

RG 1.84, Revision 39, includes new information reviewed by the NRC on the Section III Code Cases listed in Supplements 0 through 7 to the 2015 Edition, Supplements 0 through 7 to the 2017 Edition, and Supplements 0 and 1 to the 2019 Edition of the ASME BPV Code. This revision updates and supersedes RG 1.84, Revision 38, which included information from Supplement 11 to the 2010 Edition and Supplements 0 through 7 to the 2013 Edition. This revision also removes ASME BPV Code,Section III, Division 2 and Division 3 Code Cases0F1 from this RG.

Background

Provisions of the ASME Code have been used since 1971 as one part of the framework to establish the necessary design, fabrication, construction, testing, and performance requirements for structures, systems, and components important to safety. Among other things, ASME standards committees develop improved methods for the construction and inservice inspection of ASME Class 1, 2, 3, metal containment (MC), and concrete containment (CC) nuclear power plant components. A broad spectrum of stakeholders participates in the ASME process to help ensure consideration of various interests.

ASME publishes a new edition of the BPV Code, which includesSection III, every 2 years. In

10 CFR 50.55a(a)(1)(i), the NRC references the latest edition of Section III that the agency has approved for use. ASME also publishes Code Cases quarterly. Code Cases provide alternatives that ASME

developed and approved. This RG identifies the Code Cases that the NRC has determined to be acceptable alternatives to applicable parts of Section III. Under 10 CFR 50.55a(z), a licensee or applicant may request authorization to use Section III Code Cases that the NRC has not yet endorsed. In 10 CFR 50.55a(z), the NRC permits the use of alternatives to the Code requirements referenced in 10 CFR 50.55a provided that the proposed alternatives result in an acceptable level of quality and safety and their use is authorized by the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

The NRC incorporates the ASME BPV Code by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a. NRC approved Code Cases provide an acceptable voluntary alternative to the mandatory ASME Code provisions. The regulation at 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(4) provides the requirements related to the implementation of ASME

Section III Code Cases. When a licensee initially applies a Code Case listed in Table 1 or 2 of this guide, it must implement the most recent version of that Code Case incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a.

ASME may annul a Code Case because its provisions have been incorporated into the Code, the application for which it was specifically developed no longer exists, or experience has shown that the design analysis or construction method is no longer required. After ASME annuls a Code Case and after the NRC amends 10 CFR 50.55a and this guide, applicants or licensees may not implement that Code Case for the first time. However, a licensee or an applicant that implemented the Code Case before its annulment may continue to use that Code Case until it voluntarily updates itsSection III Code of Record.

If the NRC incorporated a Code Case by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a and ASME later annulled it because experience has shown that the design analysis or construction method is no longer required, the NRC will amend 10 CFR 50.55a and this guide to remove the approval of the annulled Code Case.

Licensees or applicants should not begin to implement such annulled Code Cases in advance of the rulemaking. Notwithstanding these requirements, the Commission may impose new or revised Code requirements, including implementation schedules, that it determines are consistent with 10 CFR 50.109,

1 Section III, Division 2 Code Cases are addressed in RG 1.136. Section III, Division 3 Code Cases are addressed

in a new RG currently under development.

RG 1.84, Rev. 39, Page 5 Backfitting.

A Code Case may be revised, for example, to incorporate user experience. The licensee or applicant cannot apply an older or superseded version of the Code Case for the first time. If an applicant or a licensee applied a Code Case listed in Table 1 or 2 of this guide before it was listed as superseded, it may continue to use the Code Case until it updates its Construction Code of Record (an applicant would update its application). If a Code Case is incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a and ASME later issues a revised version of the Code Case because experience has shown that the design analysis, construction method, examination method, or testing method is inadequate, the NRC will amend 10 CFR 50.55a and the relevant RG to remove the approval of the superseded Code Case. Applicants and licensees should not begin to implement such superseded Code Cases in advance of the rulemaking.

With regard to the use of any Code Case, the user is responsible for ensuring that the provisions of the Code Case do not conflict with the licensees commitments or regulatory requirements.

RG 1.84, Rev. 39, Page 6

C. REGULATORY POSITION

For RG 1.84, Revision 39, the NRC reviewed the Section III Code Cases listed in Supplements 0

through 7 to the 2015 Edition, Supplements 0 through 7 to the 2017 Edition, and Supplements 0 and 1 to the 2019 Edition of the ASME BPV Code.1F2 RG 1.84, Revision 39 supersedes the information in Revision

38. Appendix A to this guide lists the supplements reviewed by the NRC, the editions, the supplement numbers, and the numerical listing of Section III Code Cases in each supplement. Appendix B to this guide lists all current Section III Code Cases and table where each code case is listed. The following five tables list the Code Cases addressed by this RG:

a. Table 1, Acceptable Section III Code Cases, lists Code Cases that are acceptable to the NRC for application in the design and construction of light-water-cooled nuclear power plants.

b. Table 2, Conditionally Acceptable Section III Code Cases, lists Code Cases that are acceptable as long as they are used with the identified conditions (i.e., the Code Case is generally acceptable;

however, the NRC has determined that requirements in the Code Case, which are alternative requirements to the BPV Code, must be supplemented to provide an acceptable level of quality and safety).

c. Table 3, Annulled Unconditionally Approved Section III Code Cases, lists Code Cases that have been annulled by ASME.

d. Table 4, Annulled Conditionally Acceptable Section III Code Cases, lists Code Cases that the NRC

found to be acceptable as long as the licensee used them with the identified conditions; however, they were subsequently annulled by ASME.

e. Table 5,Section III Code Cases That Have Been Superseded by Revised Code Cases on or after July 1, 1974, lists Code Cases that have been superseded through revision.

2 ASME Section III, Division 2 Code Cases are addressed in RG 1.136. The NRC did not review Code Cases that pertain to

Section III, Division 3 and Division 5.

RG 1.84, Rev. 39, Page 7

1. Acceptable Section III Code Cases

The NRC finds the Code Cases listed in Table 1 to be acceptable for application in the design and construction of components and their supports for water-cooled nuclear power plants. RG 1.193 lists the ASME Code Cases that the NRC determined to be unacceptable. ASME publishes the Code Cases quarterly in supplements to each edition. To assist users, new and revised Code Cases are shaded in grey to distinguish them from those approved in previous versions of this guide. For Code Cases previously listed in this guide, the third column of Table 1 lists the dates of ASME approvals. For new or revised Code Cases, the third column of Table 1 lists the supplement and edition in which each Code Case was published (e.g., 5/17E means Supplement 5 to the 2017 Edition of the ASME BPV Code).

This recommended service life should not exceed one-third of the minimum cycle life as established by the requirements of Paragraph 3 of the Code Case. In addition, the service life of the elastomer diaphragm should not exceed 5 years, and the combined service and storage life of the elastomer diaphragm should not exceed 10 years.

7/1/93 N-32-4 Hydrostatic Testing of Embedded Class 2 and Class 3 Piping for Section III,

Division 1 Construction The acceptance of Code Case N-32-4 was based on the following clarification and interpretation. Code Case N-32-4 does not replace Paragraph NC/ND-6129, Provisions for Embedded or Inaccessible Welded Joints in Piping, of the Code.

The intent of the Code Case is to (1) provide additional testing above Code requirements and (2) permit liquid penetrant or magnetic particle testing in place of radiographic testing for Class 3 piping with a 3/8-inch nominal wall thickness or less.

Paragraph (1) contains an additional requirement to the Code. It was, therefore, acceptable but unnecessary to include in the Code Case. Paragraph (2) is a variation in the volumetric examination technique and was acceptable as written.

Paragraph (3) contains an additional requirement and is not a relaxation of the Code. It was, therefore, acceptable but unnecessary to include in the Code Case.

Hydrostatic Testing and Stamping of Components,Section III, Division 1, Construction On a generic basis, the application of the Code Case is limited to pumps and valves. Application to other components should be treated on a case-by-case basis. Each licensing application in which the Code Case is to be used should contain information showing that, as a minimum, the closure fixture will impose loads that result in stresses equal to or greater than those induced during the hydrostatic test of a complete pump assembly. A closure fixture for the part being tested that is similar in size and shape to the actual mating part is considered adequate to impose these loads. It is not intended that the hydrostatic testing simulate piping reaction loadings.

The Code Case damping should be used completely and consistently, if it is used at all. (For equipment other than piping, the damping values specified in RG 1.61, Damping Values for Seismic Design of Nuclear Power Plants (Ref. 11), should be used.)

(2)

The damping values specified may be used only in those analyses in which current seismic spectra and procedures have been employed. Such use is to be limited only to response spectral analyses [similar to that used in the study supporting its acceptance, NUREG/CR-3526, Impact of Changes in Damping and Spectrum Peak Broadening on the Seismic Response of Piping Systems (Ref. 12)]. The acceptance of the use with other types of dynamic analyses (e.g., time-history analyses or independent support motion method) is pending further justification.

(3)

When used for reconciliation work or for support optimization of existing designs, the effects of increased motion on existing clearances and online mounted equipment should be checked.

(1)

The maximum measured UTS of the component support material must not exceed 170 ksi because of the susceptibility of high-strength materials to brittleness and stress-corrosion cracking.

(2)

Certain applications may exist for which a UTS value of up to 190 ksi could be considered acceptable for a material; under this condition, the design specification must specify impact testing for the material. For these cases, the applicant must demonstrate that (1) the impact test results for the material meet the Code requirements and (2) the material is not subject to stress-corrosion cracking because a corrosive environment is not present and because the component that contains the material has essentially no residual stresses or assembly stresses and it does not experience frequent sustained loads in service.

(3) In the last sentence of Paragraph 5.3 of the Code Case, reference must be made to Paragraph 5.3.2.3, Alternative Atmosphere Exposure Time Periods Established by Tests, of the AWS D1.1 Code for the evidence presented to and accepted by the authorized inspector concerning exposure of electrodes for longer periods of time.

(4) Paragraph 15.2.2 of the Code Case is not acceptable as written and must be replaced with the following: When not exempted by 15.2.1 above, the postweld heat treatment must be performed in accordance with NF-4622 except that ASTM A-710 Grade A Material must be at least 1000°F (540°C)

than piping, the damping values specified in RG 1.61 (Ref. 11), should be used.)

(2)

The damping values specified may be used only in those analyses in which current seismic spectra and procedures have been employed. Such use should be limited only to response spectral analyses [similar to that used in the study supporting its acceptance, NUREG/CR-3526 (Ref. 12)]. The acceptance of the use with other types of dynamic analyses (e.g., time- history analysis) is pending further justification.

(3)

When used for reconciliation work or for support optimization of existing designs, the effects of increased motion on existing clearances and online mounted equipment should be checked.

(4)

This Code Case is not appropriate for analyzing the dynamic response of piping systems that use supports designed to dissipate energy by yielding (i.e., the design of which is covered by Code Case N-420).

(5)

This Code Case does not apply to piping in which stress-corrosion cracking has occurred unless a case-specific evaluation is made and is reviewed by the NRC staff.

Construction The maximum measured UTS of the component support material should not exceed 170 ksi because of the susceptibility of high-strength materials to brittleness and stress-corrosion cracking. Certain applications may exist where a UTS value of up to 190-ksi could be considered acceptable for a material; under this condition, the design specification should specify impact testing for the material. For these cases, the applicant should demonstrate that

(1) the impact test results for the material meet Code requirements and

(2) the material is not subject to stress-corrosion cracking because a corrosive environment is not present and because the component that contains the material has essentially no residual stresses or assembly stresses and it does not experience frequent sustained loads in service.

In addition, the closure fixture for the test subassembly should adequately simulate the rigidity of adjacent subassemblies and also simulate the interface loadings from adjacent subassemblies that would result from a hydrostatic pressure test of a complete pump assembly.

As a minimum, the closure fixture should impose loads that result in stresses equal to or greater than those induced during the hydrostatic test of a complete pump assembly. Hydrostatic testing should not simulate piping reactor loadings.
