W. Norris (301) 251-7650 DRAFT REGULATORY GUIDE DG-1191 (Proposed Revision 35 of Regulatory Guide 1.84, dated October 2007)
DESIGN, FABRICATION, AND MATERIALS CODE CASE ACCEPTABILITY, ASME SECTION III A. INTRODUCTION General Design Criterion (GDC) 1, AQuality Standards and Records,@ of Appendix A, AGeneral Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants,@ to Title 10, Part 50, of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 50), ADomestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities@ (Ref. 1), 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, Criterion 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.
Criterion 30, AQuality of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary,@ of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 requires, in part, that components that are part of the reactor coolant pressure boundary be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to the highest practical quality standards.
Appendix B, AQuality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Processing Plants,@
to 10 CFR Part 50 requires, in part, that measures be established for the control of special processing of materials and that proper testing be performed.
This regulatory guide is being issued in draft form to involve the public in the early stages of the development of a regulatory position in this area. It has not received final staff review or approval and does not represent an official NRC final staff position.
Public comments are being solicited on this draft guide (including any implementation schedule) and its associated regulatory analysis or value/impact statement. Comments should be accompanied by appropriate supporting data. Written comments may be submitted to the Rulemaking, Directives, and Editing Branch, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; emailed to nrcrep.resource@nrc.gov; submitted through the Federal e-rulemaking portal: http://www.regulations.gov or faxed to (301) 415-5144. Copies of comments received may be examined on http://www.regulations.gov or at the NRCs Public Document Room, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD. Comments will be most helpful if received by xxxxxxxx Electronic copies of this draft regulatory guide are available on http://www.regulations.gov, the NRCs public Web site under Draft Regulatory Guides in the Regulatory Guides document collection of the NRCs Electronic Reading Room at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/; and the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html, under Accession No. ML080910389.
Provisions of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel (BPV) 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 (ISI) of ASME Class 1, 2, 3, MC (metal containment), and CC (concrete containment) nuclear power plant components. A broad spectrum of stakeholders participate in the ASME process, which helps to ensure that the various interests are considered.
The regulation in 10 CFR 50.55a(c), AReactor Coolant Pressure Boundary,@ requires, in part, that components of the reactor coolant pressure boundary must be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested in accordance with the requirements for Class 1 components of Section III, ARules for Construction of Nuclear Power Plant Components,@ of the ASME BPV Code (Ref. 2) or equivalent quality standards.
The ASME publishes a new edition of the BPV Code, which includesSection III, every 3 years, and new addenda every year. The latest editions and addenda of Section III that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved for use are referenced in 10 CFR 50.55a(b). The ASME also publishes Code Cases quarterly. Code Cases provide alternatives developed and approved by ASME. This regulatory guide identifies the Code Cases that have been determined by the NRC to be acceptable alternatives to applicable parts of Section III.Section III Code Cases not yet endorsed by the NRC may be used by a licensee or applicant through 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(3). That section 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 that their use is authorized by the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
The ASME Code is incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a. Code Cases approved by the NRC provide an acceptable voluntary alternative to the mandatory ASME Code provisions. Therefore, the NRC will amend 10 CFR 50.55a to incorporate by reference the new Code Cases and revisions to existing Code Cases listed in this guide, and to state the requirements governing the use of Code Cases.
Because of continuing change in the status of Code Cases, the staff plans periodic updates to 10 CFR 50.55a and this guide to accommodate new Code Cases and any revisions of existing Code Cases.
This regulatory guide does not contain any new or amended information collection requirement subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Ref. 3). This regulatory guide does, however, contain existing information collections that are covered by the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, which the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved under OMB control number 3150-0011. The NRC may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, an information collection request or requirement unless the requesting document displays a currently valid OMB control number.

B. DISCUSSION Regulatory Guide 1.84 lists all Section III Code Cases that the NRC has approved for use. For Revision 35 of the guide, the NRC reviewed the Section III Code Cases listed in Supplements 2B11 to the 2004 Edition of the ASME BPV Code and Supplement 0 to the 2007 Edition (Supplement 0 also serves as Supplement 12 to the 2004 Edition). 1 Appendix A to this guide lists the supplements reviewed, the applicable edition, and the date on which each supplement was approved by the ASME Board on Nuclear Codes and Standards. Appendix B is a list of the Section III Code Cases addressed in the eleven supplements. Finally, Appendix C is a current list of all Section III Code Cases. The Code Cases addressed by this regulatory guide are listed in five tables:
(1) Table 1, AAcceptable Section III Code Cases,@ contains the Code Cases that are acceptable to the NRC for application in the design and construction of light-water-cooled nuclear power plants.
(2) Table 2, AConditionally Acceptable Section III Code Cases,@ contains Code Cases that are acceptable provided that they are used with the identified limitations or modifications (i.e., the Code Case is generally acceptable but the NRC has determined that the alternative requirements must be supplemented in order to provide an acceptable level of quality and safety).
(3) Table 3, AAnnulled Unconditionally Approved Section III Code Cases,@ contains the Code Cases that have been annulled by the ASME.
(4) Table 4, AAnnulled Conditionally Acceptable Section III Code Cases,@ contains the Code Cases that the NRC determined to be acceptable, provided that they were used with the identified limitations or modifications, but were subsequently annulled by the ASME.
(5) Table 5, ASection 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.
Code Cases that the NRC determined to be unacceptable are listed in Regulatory Guide 1.193, AASME Code Cases Not Approved for Use@ (Ref. 4).
Code Cases provide alternatives to existing Code requirements that the ASME developed and approved. The new Code Cases and revisions to existing Code Cases listed as approved in Tables 1 and 2 of this guide are incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a. Code Cases approved by the NRC may be used voluntarily by licensees as an alternative to compliance with ASME Code provisions that have been incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a.
Requirements related to Code Case implementation are provided in 10 CFR 50.55a(b). When a licensee initially applies a Code Case listed in Tables 1 or 2, the licensee must implement the most recent version of that Code Case incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a.
1 Except for Code Cases pertaining to high-temperature gas-cooled reactors; certain requirements in Section III, Division 2, not endorsed by the NRC; liquid metal; and submerged spent fuel waste casks.
DG-1191, Page 3
Code Cases may be annulled because the 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 adequate. After the ASME annuls a Code Case and the NRC amends 10 CFR 50.55a and this guide, licensees may not implement that Code Case for the first time. However, a licensee who implemented the Code Case prior to annulment may continue to use that Code Case until the licensee voluntarily updates itsSection III Code of record. If a Code Case is incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a and later annulled by the ASME because experience has shown that the design analysis or construction method is no longer adequate, the NRC will amend 10 CFR 50.55a and this guide to remove the approval of the annulled Code Case. Licensees 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 the Backfit Rule (10 CFR 50.109).
With regard to the use of any Code Case, it is the responsibility of the user to make certain that the provisions of the Code Case do not conflict with licensee commitments or regulatory requirements.

C. REGULATORY POSITION
- 1. Acceptable Code Cases The Code Cases listed in Table 1 below are acceptable to the NRC for application in the design and construction of components and their supports for water-cooled nuclear power plants. The ASME issues a new edition of Section III every 3 years. Code Cases are published quarterly in supplements to each edition. Hence, there are 12 supplements to each edition. To assist users, new and revised Code Cases are shaded to distinguish them from those approved in previous versions of this guide. The shading will assist in focusing attention during the public comment period on the changes to the guide. For Code Cases previously listed in this guide, the third column of Table 1 lists the date of ASME approval. The letter R preceding a date indicates that the Code Case was reaffirmed in one of the eleven supplements reviewed. 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., 3/04E means Code Case Supplement 3 to the 2004 Edition).

Code Case Table 5 Revision Number Code Cases That Have Been Superseded by Revised Date Code Cases on or After July 1, 1974 N-411 Alternative Damping Values for Seismic Analysis of Classes 1, 2, and 3 Piping Sections, 2/20/86 Section III, Division 1 (1) The damping values specified may be used in analyzing piping response for seismic and other dynamic loads being filtered through building structures provided response mode frequencies are limited to 33 Hz and below. Within this range, the Code Case damping should be used completely and consistently, if used at all. [For equipment other than piping, the damping values specified in Regulatory Guide 1.61 (Ref. 7), 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. 9)]. 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 on line mounted equipment should be checked.
(4) This Code Case is not appropriate for analyzing the dynamic response of piping systems using supports designed to dissipate energy by yielding (i.e., the design of which is covered by Code Case N-420).
(5) This Code Case is not applicable to piping in which stress corrosion cracking has occurred unless a case-specific evaluation is made and is reviewed by the NRC staff.

Certain applications may exist where a UTS value of up to 190 Ksi could be considered acceptable for a material and, under this condition, the Design Specification should specify impact testing for the material. For these cases, it should be demonstrated by the applicant that (1) the impact test results for the material meet code requirements, and (2) the material is not subject to stress corrosion cracking by virtue of the fact that (a) a corrosive environment is not present and (b) the component that contains the material has essentially no residual stresses or assembly stresses, and it does not experience frequent sustained loads in service.

Also, 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. It is not intended that piping reactor loadings be simulated in the hydrostatic testing 1783 Qualification of Nondestructive Personnel,Section III, Division 1 1/14/77 The first sentence of paragraph (1) should be replaced with the following: AThe certification of the Level III nondestructive examination personnel for the purposes of this Section of the Code shall be the responsibility of the employer of the Level III individual.
