USA: "Approval of American Society of Mechanical Engineers Unconditioned Code Cases"

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its
regulations to incorporate by reference a regulatory guide that
approves unconditioned code cases published by the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers (ASME). This action allows nuclear power plant
applicants and licensees to use the code cases as voluntary
alternatives to engineering standards for nuclear power plant
components. These standards are set forth in the ASME Boiler and
Pressure Vessel Code and ASME Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear
Power Plants, which are currently incorporated by reference into the
NRC's regulations.>
The final rule is effective 26 January 2026, unless significant
adverse comments are received by 25 November 2025. If the direct final
rule is withdrawn as a result of such comments, timely notice of the
withdrawal will be published in the Federal Register. Comments received
after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the
NRC is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or
before this date. Comments received on this direct final rule will also
be considered to be comments on a companion proposed rule (notified as G/TBT/N/USA/2241) published in
the Proposed Rules section of this issue of the Federal Register. The
incorporation by reference of certain material listed in the regulation
is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of 26 January
