CODE CASE ACCEPTABILITY
ASME SECTION III, DIVISION 1 requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).


This guide was issued after consideration of comments received from the public. Comments and suggestions for improvements in these guides are encouraged at all times, and guides will be revised, as ap-propriate, to accommodate comments and to reflect new Information or experience.
==B. DISCUSSION==
The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee of the ASME publishes a document entitled "Code Cases." 1 Generally, the individual Code Cases that make up this document explain the intent of Code rules or provide for alternative requirements under special circum stances.


Written comments may be submitted to the Regulatory Publications Branch, DFIPS, ADM, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washing-ton, DC 20555.The guides are Issued in the following ten broad divisions, 1. Power Reactors 2. Research and Test Reactors 3. Fuels and Materials Facilities
Most Code Cases are eventually superseded by re vision to the Code and then are annulled by action of the ASME. In such cases, the intent of the annulled Code Case becomes part of the revised Code, and therefore continued use of the Code Case intent is sanctioned un der the rules of the Code. In other cases, the Code Case is annulled because it is no longer acceptable or there is no further requirement for it. A Code Case that was ap proved for a particular situation and not for a generic application should be used only for construction of the approved situation because annulment of such a Code Case could result in construction that would not meet Code requirements.

Issued guides may also be purchased from the National Technical Infor-mation Service on a standing order basis. Details on this service may be obtained by writing NTIS, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springiield, VA 22161.
All published Code Cases in the area of materials and testing that are applicable to Section III of the Code and were in effect on May 12, 1994,* were reviewed for inclusion in this guide. In addition to the listing of ac ceptable Code Cases, this revision of the guide includes listings of (1) Code Cases that were identified as ac ceptable in a prior version of this regulatory guide and that were annulled after the original issuance of this guide (June 1974) and (2) Code Cases that were identi fied as acceptable in a prior version of this regulatory guide and that were superseded by revised Code Cases after the original issuance of this guide (June 1974).  Code Cases that are not listed herein are either not en dorsed or will require supplementary provisions on an individual basis to attain endorsement status. The endorsement of a Code Case by this guide constitutes acceptance of its technical position for ap plications not precluded by regulatory or other require ments or by the recommendations in this or other regu latory guides. Contingent endorsement is indicated in Regulatory Position C.l.a for specific cases. However, it is the responsibility of the user to make certain that no regulatory requirements are violated and that there are *Lines indicate substantive changes from Revision 30.no conflicts with other recommended limitations re sulting from Code Case usage.  Acceptance or endorsement by the NRC staff ap plies only to those Code Cases or Code Case revisions with the date of ASME approval as shown in the Regu latory Position of this guide. Earlier or later revisions of a Code Case are not endorsed by this guide. New Code Cases will require evaluation by the NRC staff to deter mine whether they qualify for inclusion in the approved list. Because of the continuing change in the status of Code Cases, it is planned that this guide will require pe riodic updating to accommodate new Code Cases and any revisions of existing Code Cases.  C.

Most Code Cases are eventually superseded by revision to the Code and then are annulled by action of the ASME. In such cases, the intent of the annulled Code Case becomes part of the revised Code, and therefore continued use of the Code Case intent is sanctioned under the rules of the Code. In other cases, the Code Case is annulled because it is no longer acceptable or there is no further requirement for it. A Code Case that was approved for a particular situation and not for a generic application should be used only for construction of the approved situation because annulment of such a Code Case could result in construction that would not meet Code requirements.

A. INTRODUCTION

Section 50.55a, "Codes and Standards," of 10 CFR Part 50, "Domestic Licensing of Production and Uti lization Facilities," requires, in part, that components of the reactor coolant pressure boundary be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested in accordance with the requirements for Class 1 components of Section III, "Nuclear Power Plant Components,"'

of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code or equivalent quality standards.

Footnote 6 to 10 CFR 50.55a states that the use of spe cific Code Cases may be authorized by the Commission upon request pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3), which requires that proposed alternatives to the described re quirements or portions thereof provide an acceptable level of quality and safety. General Design Criterion 1, "Quality Standards and Records," of Appendix A, "General Design Crite ria for Nuclear Power Plants," to 10 CFR Part 50 re quires, in part, that structures, systems, and compo nents important to safety be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be per 1Copies may be obtained from theAmerican Society of Mechanical Engi neers, Three Park Avenue, New York, New York 10016-5990.

Revision 31 May 1999 3UIDE formed. Where generally recognized codes and stan dards are used, Criterion

1 requires that they be identi fied 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.

Criterion

30, "Quality of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary," of the same appendix 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.

Appendix B, "Quality Assurance Criteria for Nu clear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants," to 10 CFR Part 50 requires, in part, that measures be es tablished for the control of special processing of materi als and that proper testing be performed.

This regulatory guide lists those Section III ASME Code Cases oriented to materials and testing that are generally acceptable to the NRC staff for implementa tion in the licensing of light-water-cooled nuclear pow er plants. This guide is being revised to update the NRC staff positions on new Code Cases, revised Code Cases, and annulled Code Cases subsequent to Revision 30 of the guide in October 1994. This regulatory guide contains no information collection activities and, therefore, is not subject to the USNRC REGULATORY

CODE CASE ACCEPTABILITY

ASME SECTION III, DIVISION 1 requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

B. DISCUSSION

The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee of the ASME publishes a document entitled "Code Cases." 1 Generally, the individual Code Cases that make up this document explain the intent of Code rules or provide for alternative requirements under special circum stances.

Most Code Cases are eventually superseded by re vision to the Code and then are annulled by action of the ASME. In such cases, the intent of the annulled Code Case becomes part of the revised Code, and therefore continued use of the Code Case intent is sanctioned un der the rules of the Code. In other cases, the Code Case is annulled because it is no longer acceptable or there is no further requirement for it. A Code Case that was ap proved for a particular situation and not for a generic application should be used only for construction of the approved situation because annulment of such a Code Case could result in construction that would not meet Code requirements.

The Code Cases listed in this guide are limited to those cases applicable to Section III that are oriented to ward materials and testing.

All published Code Cases in the area of materials and testing that are applicable to Section III of the Code and were in effect on May 12, 1994,* were reviewed for inclusion in this guide. In addition to the listing of ac ceptable Code Cases, this revision of the guide includes listings of (1) Code Cases that were identified as ac ceptable in a prior version of this regulatory guide and that were annulled after the original issuance of this guide (June 1974) and (2) Code Cases that were identi fied as acceptable in a prior version of this regulatory guide and that were superseded by revised Code Cases after the original issuance of this guide (June 1974). Code Cases that are not listed herein are either not en dorsed or will require supplementary provisions on an individual basis to attain endorsement status. The endorsement of a Code Case by this guide constitutes acceptance of its technical position for ap plications not precluded by regulatory or other require ments or by the recommendations in this or other regu latory guides. Contingent endorsement is indicated in Regulatory Position C.l.a for specific cases. However, it is the responsibility of the user to make certain that no regulatory requirements are violated and that there are *Lines indicate substantive changes from Revision 30.no conflicts with other recommended limitations re sulting from Code Case usage. Acceptance or endorsement by the NRC staff ap plies only to those Code Cases or Code Case revisions with the date of ASME approval as shown in the Regu latory Position of this guide. Earlier or later revisions of a Code Case are not endorsed by this guide. New Code Cases will require evaluation by the NRC staff to deter mine whether they qualify for inclusion in the approved list. Because of the continuing change in the status of Code Cases, it is planned that this guide will require pe riodic updating to accommodate new Code Cases and any revisions of existing Code Cases. C. REGULATORY

POSITION

1. ACCEPTABLE

CODE CASES The Section III ASME Code Cases 2 listed below (by number, date of ASME approval, and title) are ac ceptable to the NRC staff for application in the construction of components for light-water-cooled nuclear power plants. Their use is acceptable within the limitations stated in the "Inquiry" and "Reply" sections of each individual Code Case, within the limitations of such NRC or other requirements as may exist, and within the additional limitations recommended by the NRC staff given with the individual Code Cases in the listing. The categorization of Code Cases used in this guide is intended to facilitate the Code Case listing and is not intended to indicate a limitation on its usage. a.

See Regulatory Position 2, Case 1819-1, for the effective dates. 1 0 Case 1819 (N-176) was annulled December 31,1977. However, itwas later reaffirmed to continue providing rules pertaining to external pres sure charts. llCode Case N-176-1: The 3-23-80 is an annulment date. This Casewas allowed to expire on 3-23-80 because of an administrative error. It was reinstated on 8-25-80 with no technical changes. It is, therefore, con sidered to be in effect during that lapse in time. The 8-25-83 is the man datory annulment date. The Case did not appear in Revisions

1 2 Code Case N-265 was allowed to expire on 1-7-83 because of an ad ministrative error. It was reinstated on 9-1-83 with no technical changes. The Case is, therefore, considered in effect during that period of time. Again, Code Case N-265 was allowed to expire on 12-31-84 (mandatory annulment date). It was reinstated as N-265-1 on 5-19-85. Because of the circumstances and because there were no changes in the Code Case, the NRC considers that this Case was in ef fect during the period of 12-31-84 through 5-19-85.

1 3 The reason for the conditional acceptance of paragraph

6 is to make cer tain that there is a qualified ultrasonic testing procedure capable of de tecting small flaws and differentiating the small flaws from geometric reflectors.

This paragraph does not in any way alter the acceptance cri teria as specified in paragraph

It was reinstated on 9-1-83 with no technical changes. The Case is, therefore, considered in effect during that period of time. Again, Code Case N-265 was allowed to expire on 12-31-84 (mandatory annulment date). It was reinstated as N-265-1 on 5-19-85. Because of the circumstances and because there were no changes in the Code Case, the NRC considers that this Case was in ef fect during the period of 12-31-84 through 5-19-85.N-443 05-07-87 High Yield Strength Cr-Mo 03-08-89 Steel, Class 1 Components,Section III, Division 1 N-466 03-08-89 Modified 9Cr-iMo Material 04-30-90 Section III, Division 1, Classes 1, 2, and 3 1.85-20 L

4. UNACCEPTABLE

CODE CASES Code Cases for Class 1 components that are not on the approved list of this guide (paragraph C.1) or other regulatory guides, or for which authorization by the Commission has not been granted, are not acceptable for Class 1 components.

Code Cases for other classes of components that are not on the approved list of this guide (paragraph C.1) or other regulatory guides should be considered not acceptable on a generic basis.

D. IMPLEMENTATION

The purpose of this section is to provide informa tion to applicants regarding the use of this regulatory guide. 1. Except for those Code Cases that have been an nulled by action of the ASME, the NRC staff has found the Code Cases listed in the final version of this regulatory guide under Regulatory Position 1 acceptable for appropriate use. Other Code Cases may be considered for use in accordance with foot note 6 of the Codes and Standards rule, 10 CFR 50.55a. 2. Components ordered to a specific version of a Code Case need not be changed because a subsequent re vision of the Code Case is listed as the approved version in this guide. 3. Components ordered to a Code Case that was pre viously approved for use need not be changed be cause the Code Case has been subsequently an nulled. 4. Code Cases on the approved list may be applied to components that were in the process of construc tion prior to the effective date of the Code Case within the limits specified in the Code Case and ap plicable regulations or recommended in other regu latory guides.1.85-21 APPENDIX NUMERICAL

STATEMENT A draft value/impact statement was published with the draft of this guide when it was published for public comment (Task DG-1049, May 1997). No changes were necessary, so a separate value/impact statement for Regulatory Guide 1.85 has not been prepared.

A copy of the draft value/impact statement is available for inspection or copying for a fee in the NRC's Public Document Room at 2120 L Street NW., Washington, DC, under Task DG-1049.1.85-23
