DRAFT REGULATORY GUIDE DG-1295
(Proposed Revision 37 of Regulatory Guide 1.84, dated March 2016)
DESIGN, FABRICATION, AND MATERIALS CODE CASE
ACCEPTABILITY, ASME SECTION III
Purpose
This regulatory guide (RG) lists the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Section III Code Cases that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved for use as
voluntary alternatives to the mandatory ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel (BPV) Code provisions that
are incorporated by reference into Title 10, Part 50, of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 50),
“Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities” (Ref. 1).
Applicable Rules and Regulations
•
General Design Criterion (GDC) 1, “Quality Standards and Records,” of Appendix A, “General
Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants,” to 10 CFR Part 50 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.
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.

Regulatory Guide 1.147, “Inservice Inspection Code Case Acceptability, ASME Section XI,
Division 1” (Ref. 3), lists the ASME Section XI Code Cases that the NRC has approved for use as
voluntary alternatives to the mandatory ASME BPV Code provisions that are incorporated into
10 CFR 50.55a.
Regulatory Guide 1.192, “Operation and Maintenance Code Case Acceptability, ASME OM
Code” (Ref. 4), lists the ASME Operation and Maintenance Code (OM Code) Code Cases that
the NRC has approved for use as voluntary alternatives to the mandatory ASME OM Code
provisions that are incorporated into 10 CFR 50.55a.
Regulatory Guide 1.193, “ASME Code Cases Not Approved for Use” (Ref. 5), lists the ASME
Section III and Section XI Code Cases that the NRC has not approved for generic use.
Purpose of This Regulatory Guide
The NRC will amend 10 CFR 50.55a to incorporate by reference the new Code Cases and
revisions to existing Code Cases listed as approved in Tables 1 and 2 of this guide, and to state the
requirements governing the use of Code Cases. 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. 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 (Ref. 6)
This regulatory guide contains information collection requirements covered by 10 CFR Part 50
that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved under OMB control number 31500011. The NRC may neither conduct nor 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.

B. DISCUSSION
Reason of Revision
Draft Revision 37 of RG 1.84 includes new information reviewed by the NRC of Section III Code
Cases listed in Supplement 11 to the 2007 Edition and Supplements 0 through 10 to the 2010 Edition.
This is an update to RG 1.84, Revision 36, which included information from Supplements 1 through 10 to
the 2007 Edition.
Background
Provisions of the ASME 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 participates in the ASME process, which helps to ensure that the various
interests are considered.
The ASME publishes a new edition of the BPV Code, which includes Section III, every 2 years.
The latest edition of Section III that the 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, or Office of New Reactors,
as applicable.
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.
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 of this guide, the licensee must implement the most
recent version of that Code Case incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a.
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 required. After the ASME annuls a Code Case and
the NRC amends 10 CFR 50.55a and this guide, applicants or licensees may not implement that Code
Case for the first time. However, a licensee or an applicant 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
required, the NRC will amend 10 CFR 50.55a and this guide to remove the approval of the annulled Code
Case. Licensees or applicants 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
DG-1295, Page 3
requirements, including implementation schedules, which 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 listed in Tables 1 or 2 of this guide 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). 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.

C. REGULATORY POSITION
For Revision 37 of Regulatory Guide 1.84, the NRC reviewed the Section III Code Cases listed in
Supplement 11 to the 2007 Edition and Supplements 0 through 10 to the 2010 Edition of the ASME BPV
Code1. Appendix A to this guide lists the supplements reviewed, the edition, the supplement number, and
the date on which the supplement was approved by the ASME Board on Nuclear Codes and Standards.
Appendix B is a list of the Section III Code Cases published by the ASME in the eleven 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.
1.
Acceptable Code Cases
The Code Cases listed in Table 1 below are acceptable to the NRC for application in the design
and construction of components and their supports for water-cooled nuclear power plants. Code Cases
are published quarterly in supplements to each edition. To assist users, new and revised Code Cases
are shaded to distinguish them from those approved in previous versions of this guide. The shading will
assist in focusing attention during the public comment period on the changes to the guide. For Code
Cases previously listed in this guide, the third column of Table 1 lists the date of ASME approval. For
new or revised Code Cases, the third column of Table 1 lists the supplement and edition in which each
Code Case was published (e.g., “5/10E” means Code Case Supplement 5 to the 2010 Edition).

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 5.3, reference must be made to paragraph
5.3.2.3, “Alternative Atmosphere Exposure Time Periods Established by
Tests,” 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: “When 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.

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.

Subsection WB, “Class TP (Type B) Containment,” must be applied. The
second paragraph of WB-3324 may be applied. In lieu of the third
paragraph of WB-3324, the following may be applied: “In lieu of the
application of the equation for outer shell thickness (treq) the response of
the containment boundary to puncture test loadings may be evaluated
using plastic analysis according to the rules in Appendix F, “Rules for

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.

Hydrostatic Testing and Stamping of Components, Section III,

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.

performed when the material is in the solution-treated condition. For SA-479 material,
the maximum yield strength should not exceed 90,000 psi in view of the susceptibility
of this material to environmental cracking.
The Code requires that Class 1 and Class 2 valve manufacturers meet the provisions of
NCA 4000, “Quality Assurance,” and, in addition, Class 3 valve manufacturers should
also meet the provisions of NCA-4000.

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

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. 10), 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. 11)]. 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.”
