ASME BPVC Section III Div.1, Subsection NB, Class 1 Components- Nuclear Pressure Vessel Design

This course aims to give technical knowledge to engineers and inspectors who are involved in design of nuclear pressure vessels with Code Class 1. This course is a comprehensive examination of the requirements of ASME BPVC Section III Div.1, Subsection NB including design, materials, fabrication, inspection, and testing requirements of nuclear pressure vessels. Interpretation of the more ASME paragraphs (NB-1000, NB-2000, NB-3100, NB-3200, NB-3300, NB-4000, NB-5000, and NB-6000) along with explanation of fundamental principles and how to impose the code requirements are main goals of this course. A finite element analysis approach is needed to examine code allowable limits for primary stresses, secondary stresses, and peak stresses which will be discussed in this course. Furthermore, an overview of ASME Section III, NCA will also be presented. This standard is applicable to all types of reactors of nuclear power plants.
