Advanced Reactors Codes and Standards Collaborative (ARCSC)

Frankie Pimentel- Sr. Project Manager, Engineering and Risk, NEI 8

Advanced Reactors Codes and Standards Collaborative (ARCSC) Background

  • NEI/EPRI North American Advanced Reactor Roadmap Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) in conjunction with industry partners have developed a roadmap that identifies key challenges, gaps and opportunities to be addressed to enable deployment of advanced reactors.

Advanced reactor designs and a new generation of nuclear reactor construction challenge the context and assumptions upon which current consensus Codes and Standards are based. Success will require a huge shift in Codes and Standards development and regulatory processes.

  • Advanced Reactors Codes and Standards Collaborative established to realize the Codes and Standards building block of the Roadmap 9

Advanced Reactors Codes and Standards Collaborative Charter

  • Mission: To ensure the development, alignment and timely availability of U.S., Canadian and international codes and standards needed to support large-scale advanced reactor deployment.
  • Objectives:
1. Facilitate information sharing between SDOs and industry
2. Identify and gather advanced reactor developer standards needs
3. Inform and complement international and national C&S efforts (e.g., IAEA NHSI, WNA).
4. Align actions with the NEI/EPRI Advanced Reactor Roadmap Codes and Standards building block.
  • Membership: Includes individuals from NEI, EPRI, standards development organizations (SDOs) including ASME, ANS, CSA, IEEE, ASCE Information and contributors will be solicited from DOE, WNA, IAEA, regulators, advanced reactor developers, nuclear suppliers and operators, research laboratories, and other stakeholders as appropriate.

ARCSC Committee Membership includes SDOs, NEI, EPRI SDO committees AR developers Industry (utilities/

operators, suppliers)

Regulators Research (national labs, academia) 11

ARCSC Workshop and Information Collection

  • Provide information - Developing a list of C&S related to Nuclear Advanced Reactors
  • Engage with the nuclear community to identify and prioritize C&S gaps for advanced reactor designs Survey/Questionnaire (available soon)

Workshops - Next Workshop will be held November 30, 2023 in Washington D.C.

  • Identify appropriate Standards Development Organization (SDO) to develop C&S to avoid duplication of efforts and expedite standards development.

Requests for grant and other funding to create new standards or expand existing standards 12

Future - Design Once, Build Everywhere

  • Codes and Standards play a part in this goal.
  • Worldwide acceptance of standards that address Advanced Reactor needs can support design and licensing.
  • We need your input!

ASME & Nuclear Regulatory Commission

  • ASME standards are cited in the NRC Regulations as well as Regulatory Guides.

Guidance Rulemaking Development Developing and amending Standards Developing and revising regulations that licensees guidance documents, such must meet Development as regulatory guides Working with industry standards organizations to develop consensus standards associated with systems, equipment, or materials used by the nuclear industry so that these standards may be referenced in NRC regulations or guidance Representation on ASME/NRC Management meeting is all ASME consensus committees & held twice a year to discuss high most subordinate committees at the level priorities for technical working level the consensus committees 32

ASME International Activity

  • SDO Convergence Board meets in conjunction with ASMEs Boiler Code Week and contains representation from various countries to align major requirements in the various standards.
  • ASME and JSME have a close working relationship, meeting in conjunction with ASMEs Boiler Code Week.
  • ASME has established numerous International Working Groups (IWGs) for various standards.

IWGs allow ASME to gain international perspective and obtain input on how our standards are being used.
