The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing a new rule to update its regulations by incorporating revisions to three regulatory guides related to Code Cases published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). These changes would provide new and updated engineering standards for nuclear power plant components, allowing licensees and applicants to use these standards as voluntary alternatives. The NRC is seeking public comments on this proposal, and if implemented, it is expected to reduce costs for both the NRC and the nuclear industry by simplifying compliance requirements. The aim is to ensure safety while aligning with contemporary engineering practices and international standards.
