BPV Code, Section XI: Inservice Advanced Design and Construction of
Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant
Components
PD192 ASME Standards Course
NUCLEAR � PUBLIC COURSES By taking this course you will gain specific insight into how to use
Section XI to save millions of dollars in plant operating costs. Covering Code requirements for the design, fabrication, construction and life
all aspects of Section XI, this course highlights repair, replacement,
modification and maintenance activities; pressure testing; as well as
the relationship between the Code and regulatory and enforcement
requirements. Also addressed will be the many controversial issues
confronting the nuclear industry, along with discussion of the broad
spectrum of opinions regarding practical application of Code
requirements.
Course materials include many published ASME Interpretations that
explain how Code requirements can be applied to problems that have
confronted other companies. The course also highlights significant
changes in the Code requirements in the last 10–15 years.
Designed to provide an introduction to Section XI for people who
are not familiar with it, the course also provides experienced Section XI nuclear power plant (NPP) components.
users an entirely new understanding of some of the confusing
and controversial parts of Section XI.

Nuclear Facility Components per BPV
Code, Section III
PD644 ASME Standards Course
From suppliers’ shops to construction sites, this advanced course details
extension of nuclear power plants. Covering all aspects of the nuclear
pressure boundary as well as the application of methods for fabrication
of nuclear pressure boundary components, it provides the required skills
for applying Code requirements for Nondestructive Examination (NDE)
techniques for radiography, ultrasonic techniques and other forms of
NDE. It also outlines the requirements for performing hydro testing and
leak testing. Case studies examine real scenarios encountered in the
nuclear industry.
This advanced course explores the requirements of Section III of the
ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel (B&PV) code. Through a combination
of information and case studies based on real-world problems, it
provides the required knowledge and skills for the professionals who
are involved in the design, fabrication, construction and life extension of
You Will Learn To
• Explain advanced concepts related to design by analysis and design
by rule
• Compare ASME B&PV Code with other international codes.
• Identify welding and heat treatment requirements
• Describe what is required for nondestructive examination and testing
Who Should Attend
Nuclear power plant designers, stress analysts, QA and inspection
engineers
