ASME BPVC Section III, Division 1, Subsection NC: Rules for Class 2 Components, 2023

ASME BPVC.CC.NC-2023 compiles active and approved code cases offering alternatives, interpretations, and early implementations for ASME Section III—governing pressure-retaining components in nuclear facilities. This volume supports compliance, innovation, and flexibility across Class 1, 2, 3, MC, CS, and CC nuclear systems.

Highlights:

• Includes hundreds of current code cases for nuclear components and assemblies
• Covers fabrication, materials, examination, inspection, and repair alternatives
• Incorporates updates through Supplement 7 to the 2021 edition, revised for the 2023 cycle
• Indexes organized by code case number, subject, material, and component class
• Tracks case status including approvals, annulments, supersessions, and reinstatements
• Applies to Division 1 through 5 of Section III, including fission/fusion reactors, spent fuel transport, and high-temperature nuclear designs
• Provides guidance on proposing new code cases and obtaining official ASME interpretations
• Addresses advanced welding processes, fatigue analysis, stress evaluation, and inspection under nuclear conditions

Who It’s For:
Nuclear engineers, manufacturers, QA/QC professionals, and regulators managing compliance and alternative approaches to ASME Section III requirements.
