Conference ·
OSTI ID:245533
NRC has initiated a rulemaking to 10CFR50.55a that would allow Owners to voluntarily update their pump and valve inservice testing programs to the 1995 Edition of the OM Code. The 1992 and 1994 Addenda, and 1995 Edition of the OM Code offers many improvements, eg, clarifications and relaxations, to the 1989 Edition of Section XI or the 1990 Edition of the OM Code. This paper reviews the code changes that may be advantageous for Owners to use, and discusses their related requirements. Additionally, code improvements in the newly issued 1996 Addenda of the OM Code are discussed, as they may be proposed under 10CFR50.55a(a)(3)(i).
