UPON REQUEST ASME Section III – Design Requirements for Nuclear Piping

PEL-60030

The objective of this course is to provide participants with an understanding of the existing rules of NB/NC/ND-3600 and their basis. There will be references, as appropriate, to the use of NB-3200 Design by Analysis in the design of piping. Emphasis will be given to the importance of the Design Specification in assuring Code satisfaction and the basis of the new Seismic rules will be discussed. The course will alsocover design requirements for the interface between piping and its supports from the piping designer perspective. This course has been designed, in combination with the Section III – An Overview course, to assist the participants required to certify Design Reports to meet the qualification requirements of Appendix XXIII. The requirements for piping in the CSA Standard, CSA N285.0-95, will be covered so that participants will understand the relationship of the ASME Code to nuclear piping in Canada. The course will provide ample opportunity to discuss issues raised by the participants.

Duration: Delivered over 4 half-days
