This title accurately represents the 2023 edition of Section III, Division 1, Subsection NG of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), focusing on Rules for Construction of Nuclear Facility Components for Core Support Structures. Published by ASME International on July 1, 2023, this standard provides comprehensive guidelines for the construction of core support structures in nuclear facilities.

Key Features

Scope and Content The 2023 edition of ASME BPVC Section III, Division 1, Subsection NG contains requirements for:

  • Materials
  • Design
  • Fabrication
  • Examination
  • Testing
  • Overpressure protection

These requirements apply to core support structures, which are designed to provide direct support or restraint of the core (fuel & blanket assemblies) within the reactor pressure vessel.

2023 Edition Updates

Notable changes in the 2023 edition include:

  • Revision of NF-1000, NF-2000, NF-3000, Table NF-D, and Appendix NF-E to add requirements for energy absorbers
  • Modification of NF-2321.2 to remove the requirement for full-size test specimens and adjust test-specimen requirements in accordance with SA-370
  • Update of NF-3300 to reflect applicable requirements for austenitic stainless-steel design found in AISC Design Guide 27
  • Development of NF-5540 to permit the use of CP-189 as an acceptable NDE personnel qualification standard

Importance and Application

This comprehensive standard is essential for:

  • Nuclear facility designers and engineers
  • Manufacturers of core support structures
  • Regulatory bodies and inspectors
  • Ensuring safety and compliance in nuclear facility construction

By providing detailed rules for the construction of core support structures in nuclear facilities, this standard plays a crucial role in maintaining the safety and integrity of nuclear power plants and related facilities.
