ASME Standards & Codes: Enhancing the Safety of Nuclear Power Plants
Summary
The growing demand for power is one of the key reasons behind the global nuclear renaissance. Globally, there are over 50 nuclear power plants that are currently under construction and many more in the planned and proposed phases. However, the safety issue associated with the operation of nuclear power plants has been the pressing issue for the growth of the nuclear industry. Ensuring the safe operations of the nuclear components and its facilities is one of the challenges faced by the nuclear industry. The failure of any component would result in an environmental crisis affecting the public safety. Hence, there aroused an urgent need of some system or entity to be in place which can restrain the situation and assist in the smooth functioning of the nuclear plants. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Nuclear standards and code emphasizes the importance of the quality control system, to be maintained by the component manufacturers in the production process. The quality parse includes the quality in the construction materials, operations, design, fabrication, inspection and the nuclear facility maintenance. In this regard, the nuclear certifications given by ASME to the nuclear component manufacturers signify that the components produced by them there forth meet the prescribed standards, safety measures and are industry ready. In the rising nuclear power market, these N- Certifications and accreditations encourages a stable growth of the nuclear industry by ensuring safe operations of the nuclear components and its facilities enhancing public safety.
