Abstract: FINAL RULE, APPROVAL OF AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHNICAL ENGINEERS' CODE CASES The final rule is the latest in a series of rulemakings that incorporate by reference the latest versions of several Regulatory Guides identifying new and revised unconditionally or conditionally acceptable American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code Cases that are approved for use. The incorporation by reference of these Code Cases will reduce the number of alternative requests submitted by licensees under proposed 10 CFR 50.55a(z) by an estimated 179 requests annually. The proposed rule would apply to power reactor licensees and power reactors under construction.
