Illinois Administrative Code › Title 32 - ENERGY › Part 505 - SAFE OPERATION OF NUCLEAR FACILITY BOILERS AND PRESSURE VESSELS › Subpart A - GENERAL › Section 505.110 - Registration Requirements (general)

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The requirements of this Section are
				subject to the limitations of Section
				505.20(c).
b) The owner of a nuclear facility shall
				register with the Agency all boilers and pressure vessels contained within or
				upon or in connection with the nuclear facility unless exempt under Section
				505.50(a).
				For each boiler and pressure vessel installed after February 7, 1994 that has
				not been registered with the Agency, the owner shall register the boiler or
				pressure vessel prior to its operation in accordance with this Section and
				either Section
				505.1100
				or
				505.2100,
				as applicable.
c) Manufacturer's
				Data Reports shall be filed by the owner with the Agency for new installation
				and reinstallation of boilers and pressure vessels at nuclear facilities,
				unless otherwise exempted by Section
				505.50(a).
				If a boiler or pressure vessel is of special design or will not bear the ASME
				Certification Mark with appropriate designator, the owner shall additionally
				comply with the requirements of Sections
				505.170
				and
				505.1700
				or Section
				505.2700
				for non-ASME Code ISI or non-ISI boilers and pressure vessels, respectively.
AGENCY NOTE: Data Reports as used in this subsection (c)
				  refers to those documents completed as required by the construction code
				  applicable to the boiler or pressure vessel.
d) Each boiler or pressure vessel subject to
				the Act shall be identified by a serial number of the State of Illinois. If a
				State serial number has not already been assigned, a number will be assigned
				and applied by the Authorized Inspector. Additionally, the ASME Code
				Certification Mark with appropriate designator shall be kept free of paint and
				lagging so that it will be plainly visible and easily read by the Authorized
				Inspector.
e) The State serial
				number on boilers shall not be less than 5/16" in height and shall be preceded
				by the letters "ILL" and the letter "B", which also shall be not less than
				5/16" in height. The State serial number on unfired pressure vessels shall be
				not less than 5/16" in height and shall be preceded by the letters "ILL" and
				the letter "U", which also shall be not less than 5/16" in height. The
				Authorized Inspector shall make certain that the correct Illinois State serial
				number is affixed to the boiler or pressure vessel.
f) The requirements of subsections (d) and
				(e) for the physical application of the State serial number may be waived if a
				system to identify the boiler or pressure vessel with the assigned State serial
				number has been established and the system of identification is acceptable to
				the Agency. An alternative system for the identification of boilers and
				pressure vessels with assigned State serial numbers shall be acceptable to the
				Agency if the alternative system readily and unambiguously allows the Agency
				and Authorized Inspector to track the inspection status of the boilers and
				pressure vessels using the State serial numbers. Acceptable alternative systems
				of identification may include, but are not limited to, the use of
				cross-reference lists between assigned State serial numbers and any of the
				following: National Board serial numbers; manufacturers' names and serial
				numbers; or plant equipment identification numbers as shown on controlled plant
				system identification drawings provided to the Agency.
g) A Certificate Inspection shall be made of
				all used or second-hand boilers or pressure vessels prior to operation at a
				nuclear facility in this State. In a case where a boiler or pressure vessel is
				moved and reinstalled the fittings and appliances shall be upgraded to comply
				with the rules for new installations.
