REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Mechanical Engineering Branch (MEB) (EMEB)1 Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The MEB EMEB determines the acceptability of American Society of Mechanical Engineers 2 (ASME) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Code Case interpretations specified in the safety analysis report (SAR). These Code Cases must be approved before being applied to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, Division 1, Subsection NB - Class 1 Components, Subsection NC - Class 2 Components, and Subsection ND - Class 3 Components, and 3 Subsection NE - Class MC Components, as stated as described in the Codes and Standards Rule, 4 Section 50.55a(a)(2)(ii) of 10 CFR Part 50. The review also includes the approval of Code Cases 5 applied to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, Division 1, Subsection NE - Class MC Components, Subsection NF - Component Supports, and Subsection NG - Core Support 6 Structures, and ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, Division 2, Concrete Containments. These Code Cases contain requirements or special rules which may be used for application in the construction of components for light-water-cooled nuclear power plants. Review Interfaces7 The MEB EMEB, the Materials Engineering Branch (MTEB) Materials and Chemical Engineering 8 Branch (EMCB), and the Structural Engineering Branch (SEB) Civil Engineering and Geosciences 9 Branch (ECGB) on a generic basis, determine the acceptability of ASME and ANSI Code Case 10 interpretations that may be applied to ASME Section III, Division 1 and 2, components. These DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 5.2.1.2-2 branches review each revision to applicable Code Cases. Code Cases pertaining to materials, fabrication, and nondestructive testing are evaluated by the MTEB EMCB. Code Cases pertaining 11 to ASME Section III, Division 2, are evaluated by the SEB ECGB. All other areas covered by 12 ASME Code Cases are evaluated by the MEB EMEB.13 II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
