Start: 2023-10-30T12:30:00-04:00

Location: Online Training Session

PEL-71212

The objective of the course is to introduce participants to an overview of the codes and standards that govern the requirements for pressure boundary design and construction. The governing Standard is CSA N285.0 which makes extensive reference to Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel (B&PV) Code. The course examines the concepts and principles that are the basis of the requirements for the materials and components used in the Pressure Boundary of a Nuclear Power Plant and how their requirements are applied in Canada. It examines the requirements for the Certification of Documents, particularly the Design Specification, and reviews the Section III Code Articles for which a working knowledge is required for Canada. This course has been developed to cover the objectives of two courses offered by ANRIC and as such would replace the need to attend these two courses to be qualified. By combining the two courses, ANRIC has been able to provide more effective training. It has reduced the training time from 5 days (2 days for N285 (Series) plus 3 days for SEC III – An Overview) to 4 days and include the requirements for Repairs. Replacements, Modifications and Testing.

Combined course including workshop activities that meets the objectives of two former courses, SEC III – An Overview and CSA N285 (Series). Includes Repairs, Replacement and Modifications

Duration: Delivered over 8 half-days

Who Should Attend?

This course will introduce the participants to the fundamentals of the CSA Standard N285.0/N285.6 and Section III of the ASME Code. It is an intermediate course directed toward personnel such as Designers, Inspectors, Maintenance and Operations Personnel and Management who need to understand the Code concepts and how they are integrated into the Canadian regulatory system. Some introductory experience with the Code and its application is desirable and will help the participant engage in the course more easily. It will allow persons required to certify Design Documents as required by the Section III, Division 1, to count this course as part of their experience base in accordance with the requirements in Appendix XXIII of Section III, Division 1.

Expectations:

At the completion of the training, the participants with adequate experience will have attained the skills to:

Understand the concepts used Code to maintain Pressure Boundary integrity and to operate in a safe manner at the design conditions.
Have a working knowledge of the relationship between the various Subsections and Articles of the Section III, Div. 1 Code for Pressure Boundary components and its relationship with the corresponding Canadian Standard CSA N285 and how the Canadian requirements are integrated into the system.
Identify how the various books are structured and to summarize the scopes of N285.0 and Section III.
Define the concept of classification with regards to ASME Section III and CSA N285.
Identify the duties and responsibilities for the various parties (Owner, Certificate Holder, etc.).
Identify the specific material requirements associated with the construction class and how to compare material requirements of the current Code with Code editions and Addenda of an earlier Code Edition.
Identify and select the correct QA program associated with the construction of the Pressure Boundary Components.
An overview of the design concepts and their relationship to fabrication, installation, examination and the testing
requirements.
