CODE CASE ACCEPTABILITY

ASME SECTION III DIVISION I

A. INTRODUCTION

Section 50.55a, "Codes and Standards," of 10 CFR Part 50, "Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities," requires, in part, that com-ponents of the reactor coolant pressure boundary be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested in accor-dance 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 equiva-lent quality standards.

Footnote 6 to §50.55a states that the use of specific Code Cases may be authorized by the Commission upon request pursuant to§ 50.55 a (a) (2) (ii), which requires that proposed alter-natives to the described requirements or portions thereof provide an acceptable level of quality and safety.General Design Criterion 1, "Quality Standards and Records," of Appendix A, "General Design Cri-teria for Nuclear Power Plants," to 10 CFR Part 50 requires, in part, that structures, systems, and compo-nents important to safety be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensu-rate with the importance of the safety function to b(performed.

Where generally recognized codes an standards are used, Criterion

1 requires that they b identified and evaluated to determine their applicabi ity, adequacy, and sufficiency and be supplemente

n. Criterion

30, "Quality of Reactor Coolant Pres-sure 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 established for the control of special processing of materials 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 im-plementation in the licensing of light-water-cooled nu-clear power plants.Any information collection activities mentioned in this regulatory guide are contained as requirements in 10 CFR Part 50, which provides the regulatory ba-sis for this guide. The information collection require-ments in 10 CFR Part 50 have been cleared under OMB Clearance No. 3150-0011.

B. DISCUSSION

d The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee of the ASME publishes a document entitled "Code Cases."'le-'th Generally, the individual Code Cases that make up this document explain the intent of Code rules or USNRC REGULATORY

GUIDES Regulatory Guides are issued to describe and make available to the pub-lic methods acceptable to the NRC staff of Implementing specific parts of the Commission's regulations, to delineate techniques used by the staff in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, or to pro-vide guidance to applicants.

Regulatory Guides are not substitutes for regulations, and compliance with them is not required.

Methods and solutions different from those set out in the guides will be acceptable If they provide a basis for the findings requisite to the issuance or continu-ance of a permit or license by the Commission.

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.

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

4. Environmental and Siting 5. Materials and Plant Protection

6. Products

7. Transportation

8. Occupational Health g. Antitrust and Financial Review 10. General Copies of issued guides may be purchased from the Government Printing Office at the current GPO price.

provide for alternative requirements under special circumstances.

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.

The Code Cases listed in this guide are limited to those cases applicable to Section III that are oriented toward materials and testing.All published Code Cases in the area of materials and testing that are applicable to Section III of the* JCode and were in effect on March 8, 1989, were reviewed for inclusion in this guide. In addition to the listing of acceptable Code Cases, this revision of the guide includes listings of (1) Code Cases that were identified as acceptable 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 identified 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 endorsed 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 applications not precluded by regulatory or other requirements or by the recommendations in this or other regulatory 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 no conflicts with other recommended limitations resulting from Code Case usage.Acceptance or endorsement by the NRC staff applies only to those Code Cases or Code Case revisions with the date of ASME approval as shown in the regulatory 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 determine if they qualify for inclusion in the approved list. Because of the con-*Lines indicate substantive changes from Revision 26.tinuing change in the status of Code Cases, it is planned that this guide will require periodic updating to accommodate new Code Cases and any revisions of existing Code Cases.C. REGULATORY

POSITION 1. The Section III ASME Code Cases 2 listed below (by, number, date of ASME approval, and title) are acceptable 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 require-ments as may exist, and within the additional limita-tions recommended by the NRC staff given with the individual Code Cases in the listing. The categoriza- tion 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.

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 effect during the period of 12-31-84 through 5-19-85.'4 The reason for the conditional acceptance of paragraph

6 is to make certain that there is a qualified ultrasonic testing procedure capable of detecting small flaws and differentiating the small flaws from geometric reflectors.

This paragraph does not in any way alter the acceptance criteria 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 effect during the period of 12-31-84 through 5-19-85.N-379 04-04-83 Bimetallic Tubing Section III, 07-18-85 Division 1, Class 1 N-418 12-05-84 Use of Seamless Ni-Fe-Cr-07-30-86 Mo-Cu Low Carbon (UNS N08028 and UNS N08904)Tubing,Section III, Division 1, Classes 2 and 3 N-438 02-23-87 Fe-24.5Ni-2lCr-6.5 Mo-0.2N 03-08-89 (Alloy UNS N08367) Seam-less and Welded Pipe, Tube, Plate, Bar, Fittings, and Forg-ings, Class 2 and 3 Construc-tion,Section III, Division 1 N-443 05-07-87 High Yield Strength Cr-Mo 03-08-89 Steel, Class 1 Components,Section III, Division 1 4. 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.

5. 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 information to applicants regarding the use of this regulatory guide.1. Except for those Code Cases that have been annulled by action of the ASME, the NRC staff has found the Code Cases listed in this regulatory guide under regulatory position C. 1 acceptable for appropriate use. Other Code Cases may be considered for use in accordance with footnote 6 of the Codes and Standards rule, §50.55a of 10ýCFR Part 50.2. Components ordered to a specific version of a Code Case need not be changed because a subsequent revision of the Code Case is listed as the approved version in this guide.3. Components ordered to a Code Case that was previously approved for use need not be changed because the Code Case has been subsequently annulled.4. Code Cases on the approved list may be applied to components that were in process of construction prior to the effective date of the Code Case within the limits specified in the Code Case and applicable regulations or recommended in other regulatory guides.1.85-17 APPENDIX NUMERICAL
