DRAFT REGULATORY GUIDE DG-1230
(Proposed Revision 36 of Regulatory Guide 1.84, dated October 2010)

DESIGN, FABRICATION, AND MATERIALS CODE CASE
ACCEPTABILITY, ASME SECTION III
A. INTRODUCTION
General Design Criterion (GDC) 1, “Quality Standards and Records,” of Appendix A, “General
Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants,” to Title 10, Part 50, of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR Part 50), “Domestic 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, “Quality 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, “Quality 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 Rules, Announcements, and Directives Branch, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; submitted through the NRC’s interactive rulemaking Web page at
http://www.nrc.gov; or faxed to (301) 492-3446. Copies of comments received may be examined at the NRC’s Public Document
Room, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD. Comments will be most helpful if received by September 9, 2013.
Electronic copies of this draft regulatory guide are available through the NRC’s interactive rulemaking Web page (see above);
the NRC’s public Web site under Draft Regulatory Guides in the Regulatory Guides document collection of the NRC Library at
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/; and the NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System
(ADAMS) at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html, under Accession No. ML102590003.

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), “Reactor 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, “Rules 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 includes Section 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(a)(1)(i). 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(z). 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.
Paperwork Reduction Act Statement
This regulatory guide does not contain new or amended information collection requirements
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (Ref. 3). Existing information
collection requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, control number 31500011.
Public Protection Notification
The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a request for
information or an information collection requirement unless the requesting document displays a currently
valid OMB control number.
This regulatory guide is a rule as designated in the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801-808)
(Ref. 14). However, the NRC has determined this regulatory guide is not a major rule as designated by
the
Congressional Review Act and has verified this determination with the OMB.

B. DISCUSSION
Regulatory Guide 1.84 lists all Section III Code Cases that the NRC has approved for use. For
Revision 36 of the guide, the NRC reviewed the Section III Code Cases listed in Supplements 1 through
10 to the 2007 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 seven 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, “Acceptable 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, “Conditionally Acceptable Section III Code Cases,” contains Code Cases that are
acceptable provided that they are used with the identified conditions (i.e., the Code Case is
generally acceptable but the NRC has determined that requirements in the Code Case, which are
alternatives to the BPV Code, must be supplemented in order to provide an acceptable level of
quality and safety).

(3)

Table 3, “Annulled Unconditionally Approved Section III Code Cases,” contains the Code Cases
that have been annulled by the ASME.

(4)

Table 4, “Annulled 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
conditions, but were subsequently annulled by the ASME.

(5)

Table 5, “Section 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,
“ASME 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; Section III, Division 2, and liquid metal.

DG-1230, 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 its Section 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).
A Code Case may be revised, for example, to incorporate user experience. The older or
superseded version of the Code Case cannot be applied by the licensee or applicant for the first time. If
an applicant or a licensee applied a Code Case before it was listed as superseded, the applicant or the
licensee may continue to use the Code Case until the applicant or the licensee updates its construction
Code of Record (in the case of an applicant, updates its application) or until the licensee’s 120-month
ISI/IST update interval expires, after which the continued use of the Code Case is prohibited unless NRC
approval is granted under 10 CFR Part 50.55a(z). If a Code Case is incorporated by reference into 10
CFR Part 50.55a and later a revised version is issued by the ASME because experience has shown that the
design analysis, construction method, examination method, or testing method is inadequate; the NRC will
amend 10 CFR Part 50.55a and the relevant RG to remove the approval of the superseded Code Case.
Applicants and licensees should not begin to implement such superseded Code Cases in advance of the
rulemaking.
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.

The maximum yield strength of stain-hardened austenitic stainless steel shall not
exceed 90,000 psi in view of the susceptibility of this material to environmental
cracking.
Note: This condition was contained in RG 1.85, Rev. 31, May 1999, and was
inadvertently deleted when RG 1.84 and RG 1.85 were combined, i.e., all Section
III Code Cases were listed in RG 1.84.

Internal and External Valve Items, Section III, Division 1, Classes 1, 2, and 3

2/03/03

The Code requires that Class 1 and Class 2 valve manufacturers meet the
provisions of NCA-4000, “Quality Assurance.” Class 3 valve manufacturers
must also meet the provisions of NCA-4000 because all Code Class valve items
are subject to the licensee’s 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B approved QA program.

The maximum measured ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the component
support material must not exceed 170 Ksi in view of the susceptibility of
high-strength materials to brittleness and stress corrosion cracking.
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 must specify impact testing for the material. For
these cases, it must be demonstrated by the applicant that:
the impact test results for the material meet Code requirements,
(a)
the impact test results for the material meet Code requirements,
(b)
the material is not subject to stress corrosion cracking by virtue of
the fact that:
(i)
a corrosive environment is not present, and
(ii) the component that contains the material has essentially no
residual stresses or assembly stresses, and

In the last sentence of paragraph 4.2, reference must be made to paragraph
4.5.2.2, “Alternative Atmosphere Exposure Time Periods Established by
Test,” of the AWS D1.1 Code for the evidence presented to and accepted by
the Authorized Inspector concerning exposure of electrodes for longer
periods of time.
Paragraph 15.2.2 is not acceptable as written and must be replaced with the
following: AWhen not exempted by 15.2.1 above, the postweld heat
treatment must be performed in accordance with NF-4622 except that
ASTM A-710 Grade A Material must be at least 1000°F (540°C) and must
not exceed 1150°F (620°C) for Class 1 and Class 2 material and 1175°F
(640°C) for Class 3 material.
The new holding time at temperature for weld thickness (nominal) must be
30 minutes for 2 inch or less, 1 hour per inch for thickness over 2 inch to 5
inches, and for thicknesses over 5 inches, 5 hours plus 15 minutes for each
additional inch over 5 inches.
The fracture toughness requirements as listed in this Code Case apply only
to piping supports and not to Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 component
supports.

Fiberglass Reinforced Thermosetting Resin Pipe, Section III, Division 1

The design temperature for spray pond piping must be 100°C (212°F).
The allowable design stress must be the value obtained from the minimum
hydrostatic design basis (HDB) in Table 3611-1 of Code Case N-155-2
(Procedure A or B) or the value determined as one-sixth of the stress
obtained from a short-time burst test for the pipe being qualified,
whichever is lower. The short-time burst strength must be determined by
bursting the pipe (ASTM D-1599-74) using free-end mounting after it has
been exposed to 105 pressure cycles from atmospheric to design pressure.
The value of “K” in equation 9 of paragraph 3652 must be limited to 1.2
unless it can be demonstrated that with the use of a large value of K1 the
functional capability of the system will not be impaired during upset and
emergency conditions.
RTR piping must be uninsulated or uncovered and installed under
conditions that make it readily accessible for inspection.
Preoperational and inservice inspections must be as follows:
(a)
During the preoperational testing period, tests must be made to
verify that the piping is free of vibration induced by weather
conditions or water flow that could fatigue the piping prematurely;
(b)
Fiberglass-reinforced piping components must be inspected in
accordance with ASME Code, Section XI, for Code Class 3
components. In addition, all pipe supports must be inspected;
(c)
Inspection frequency for piping must be increased to once annually
if an exterior weather-resistant coating is not provided.

Hydrostatic Testing of Embedded Class 2 and Class 3 Piping
for Section III, Division 1 Construction

3/16/84

The acceptance of Code Case N-32-4 was based on the following clarification
and interpretation. Code Case N-32-4 does not replace paragraph NC/ND-6129,
“Provisions for Embedded or Inaccessible Welded Joints in Piping,” of the
Code. The intent of the Code Case is to (1) provide additional testing above
Code requirements and (2) permit liquid penetrant or magnetic particle testing in
place of radiographic testing for Class 3 piping with 3/8" nominal wall thickness
or less.
Paragraph (1) contains an additional requirement to the Code. It was, therefore,
acceptable but unnecessary to include in the Code Case.
Paragraph (2) is a variation in the volumetric examination technique and was
acceptable as written. Paragraph (3) contains an additional requirement and is
not a relaxation of the Code. It was, therefore, acceptable but unnecessary to
include in the Code Case.

If the configuration of Figure 1 of the Code Case is used for Class 1 and MC
components supports, full penetration welds should be used. The application of
the configuration shown in Figures 2 and 3 should be restricted to the welding
of cans for spring encapsulation in spring hangers. In Figure 3, the length of the
leg of the fillet weld adjacent to the plate should be equal to the thickness of the
exposed edge of the plate; also, the leg of the fillet weld adjacent to the shell
should be equal to the thickness of the exposed end of the shell.

Hydrostatic Testing and Stamping of Components, Section III,
Division 1, Construction
On a generic basis, the application of the Code Case is limited to pumps and
valves. Application to other components should be treated on a case-by-case
basis. Each licensing application in which the Code Case is to be used should
contain information showing that, as a minimum the closure fixture will impose
loads that result in stresses equal to or greater than those induced during the
hydrostatic test of a complete pump assembly. A closure fixture for the part
being tested that is similar in size and shape to the actual mating part is
considered adequate to impose these loads. It is not intended that piping
reaction loadings be simulated in the hydrostatic testing.

materials to brittleness and stress corrosion cracking. 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

The maximum measured ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the component support
material should not exceed 170 Ksi in view of the susceptibility of high-strength
materials to brittleness and stress corrosion cracking. 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.
In the last sentence of paragraph 5.3, reference should be made to paragraph 4.5.2.2,
“Alternate Atmosphere Exposure Time Periods Established by Test,” of the AWS D.1.1
Code for the evidence presented to and accepted by the Authorized Inspector concerning
exposure of electrodes for longer periods of time.

2/20/86

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.]
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.
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.
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).
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.

The maximum measured ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the component support
material should not exceed 170 ksi in view of the susceptibility of high-strength
materials to brittleness and stress corrosion cracking. 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.

Each licensing application in which the Code Case is to be used should present
information that satisfactorily demonstrates that the subassembly tests adequately
simulate the pressure loadings. 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
The first sentence of paragraph (1) should be replaced with the following: “The

individual. If the employer is not a Certificate Holder, then the verification of such
certificate is the responsibility of the Certificate Holder.”
