Design Basis Documents - Vendor and engineering documents used in the design, or used to instruct in the correct operation and maintenance, of the systems and equipment used in the power plant. Design basis documents consist of OEM Manuals, vendor documents, industry standards, codes and documented engineering assessments.
Documented deviations from the above documents are also considered part of the design basis documents provided there is documented reasoning for those deviations. Documented reasoning includes the benefit of the deviation and why the deviation is consistent with the Unit Plan.
ASME Boiler and pressure vessel code, Section 1, (including all amendments)
ASME Boiler and pressure vessel code, Section V111
ANSI/ASME B 31.1 Power Piping
Note on Codes: Any boiler designed and approved to an earlier issue and amendment of these standards is maintained and repaired to the design as originally issued. However, advances in engineering knowledge and experience reflected in the subsequent issues of the codes are taken into consideration in operation and maintenance of the boiler.
Weld repairs and alterations of boilers designed to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section 1, is carried out in accordance with the rules of the National Board Inspection Code, published by the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors.
These standards are intended to augment and not conflict with other standards, which are pertinent to specific components and systems at each facility such as standards issued by organizations including but not limited to:
