DISCUSSION Reason for Issuance The NRC staff is issuing the RG for the purpose of endorsing the following three ASME Standards as stated: • ASME NML-1 provides programmatic guidance and is endorsed with clarifications that specify information needed to demonstrate that safety functions would be appropriately protected against handling system equipment failures. NRC endorsement of ASME Std. NML-1 in this RG provides an update to the guidance in the NRC technical report NUREG-0612. • ASME NOG-1 is the crane design standard and is endorsed with clarifications that specify information needed related to application of quality assurance measures and the interface of the crane with other structures. ASME Std. NOG-1 is used for the design of overhead cranes with multiple girders and top running trollies using wire rope hoists. NRC endorsement of ASME Std.
