Description / Abstract:
This Standard specifies requirements for the periodic inspection
of containment system components, including containment pressure
suppression systems, in CANDU nuclear power plants.
The inspection requirements specified in this Standard (see
Annex B for additional guidance) provide assurance of the
structural integrity of metallic and plastic containment system
components.
Note: The following are addressed by other
Standards or procedures as specified in Table 1:
a) leak tightness and operability requirements; and
b) inspection and testing requirements for concrete,
embedded parts, and elastomeric seals.
Periodic inspection, material property monitoring, and test
programs for fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) containment
components are included in Annex A.
