3、 from corrosion and contamination by radioactive nuclides inaccordance with ALARA. In the absence of a standard method of selecting, testing, and evaluatingcoatings, many sites evaluated paints by empirical tests to determine which were useful in theirparticular operation. Understandably, the method
4、s of testing were not uniform throughout the industry.It has been very difficult, consequently, to compare the results obtained at one site with those obtainedat another. Standard tests whereby industrial (nuclear) users of paints systematically preparespecimens and subject them to selected evaluati
5、ons, thus permitting uniform comparisons, areadvantageous, internationally as well as domestically.The designer of light water-moderated nuclear reactor systems must consider the possibility of aDesign Basis Accident (DBA) and the subsequent events which might lead to the release or expulsionof a fr
6、action of the fission-product inventory of the core to the reactor containment facility. Engineeredsafety features, principally a reactor containment facility, are provided to prevent the release of fissionproducts to the biological environment during and after this improbable event. The design, fab
7、rication,quality assurance, and testing of these engineered safety features ensure reliable operation and safetyunder all anticipated conditions.Large areas of the reactor-containment facility are painted with safety-related coatings. If severedelamination, peeling, or flaking causes significant por
8、tions of the coating to be discharged into thecommon water reservoir, the performance of the safety systems could be seriously compromised bythe plugging of strainers, flow lines, pumps, spray nozzles, and core coolant channels. Safety-relatedcoatings may also exist outside of the reactor-containmen
9、t.This guide is the result of a comprehensive examination of the experience and data that have beendeveloped on protective coatings in the nuclear industry over approximately 40 years. Standardspertaining to nuclear coatings have historically been covered by ANSI N5.12, ANSI N101.2, andANSI N101.4.
10、Responsibility for updating, rewriting, and issuing appropriate ANSI replacementstandards has been transferred to ASTM, specifically ASTM Committee D33, on Protective Coatingand Lining Work for Power Generation Facilities.The objective of this guide is to provide a common basis on which protective c
11、oatings for thesurfaces of nuclear power generating facilities may be qualified and selected by reproducibleevaluation tests. This guide also provides guidance for application and maintenance of protectivecoatings. Quality assurance in the nuclear industry is a mandatory requirement for all aspects
12、ofsafety-related nuclear coatings work. Licensees of nuclear power plants are required to determine ifcoated surfaces are within the scope of 10CFR50.65, “The Maintenance Rule.” Any coated surfacesfound to be within the scope of 10CFR50.65 must satisfy the requirements of 10CFR50.65.

This guide also provides guidance for applicationand maintenance of protective coatings. Under the environ-mental operating and accident conditions of nuclear powergenerat
