Nuclear power plants/facilities

Thermal stability tables are available for the various amines, but they are of little practical value because decomposition products vary, depending on specific operating conditions. Morpholine is an exception, as the breakdown products are first DEA and then MEA, which is a particularly effective amine in some nuclear power plant facilities (PWRs). Thermal stability and the types of decomposition by-products only become important in boiler plants with superheaters operating in excess of 1,000 °F. 

Nuclear power plant facilities should be equipped with suitable devices for removing radioactivity from the air. The radioactive emissions should be released via a special, sufficiently high chimney, which could provide an efficient dispersion of radioactive substance in the atmosphere [11, 12].

Part 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 10 (10CFR50) [3.1] regulates construction of nuclear power plants. More specifically, 10CFR50.55a cites Section HI of the ASME Code [3.2] which is the industry standard for construction of nuclear power plant facilities, and Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code [3.3] which prescribes in-service inspection requirements, including inspection and evaluation of defects. 

Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Code [6.1] is the standard for operation and in-service inspection of nuclear power plant facilities. Examination Category B-N-3 of Section XI, Subsection IWB, provides requirements for the visual examination of core support structures. These requirements refer to the relevant conditions defined in IWB-3520.4 which include loose, missing, cracked, or fractured parts, bolting, or fasteners.
