Meeting to Discuss the Provisions on Steel and Modular Composite Construction in the 

American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Specification N690-2012, Supplement 1, 

Dated 2015

On November 23, 2015, RES sponsored a public meeting to discuss the provisions on safetyrelated steel and steel plate modular composite structures (SC structures) in the American 

Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Specification N690-2012, Supplement 1, dated 2015, 

Specification for Safety-Related Steel Structures for Nuclear Facilities. During this information 

gathering meeting, the staff and its contractors engaged AISC experts to get clarifications on the 

technical bases and justification of certain provisions in the standard to inform resolution of their 

possible acceptance with or without potential exceptions. Review of the N690 standard is part 

of the NRC guidance update. The N690-2012 standard is a major update of the N690-1994 and 

its Supplement 2 dated 2004, which are the last editions of the standard addressed in the NRC 

guidance. Supplement 1 to the N690-2012 is the first U.S. standard for safety related SC 

structures which is not yet addressed in detail in NRC guidance. This meeting was well 

attended by interested internal and external stakeholders. Meeting presentations and the 

meeting summary will be posted on the public meeting website.
