43、echanical drive systems operability and long-termintegrity are concerns that should be addressed primarilyduring the design phase; however, problems identified duringfabrication and testing should be resolved and the changes inthe design documented. Equipment operability and integritycan be compromi

44、sed during handling and installation se-quences. For this reason, the subject equipment should behandled and installed under closely controlled and supervisedconditions.4.2 This standard is intended as a supplement to otherstandards, and to federal and state regulations, codes, andcriteria applicabl

45、e to the design of equipment intended for thisuse.4.3 This standard is intended to be generic and to apply to awide range of types and configurations of mechanical drivesystems.5. Quality Assurance and Quality Requirements5.1 The owner-operator should administer a quality assur-ance program approved

46、 by the agency of jurisdiction. QAprograms may be required to comply with 10CFR 50, Appen-dix B, 10CFR 830.120, Subpart A, ASME NQA-1, or ISOQ9001.5.2 The owner-operator should require appropriate qualityassurance of purchased mechanical drive systems and compo-nents to assure proper fit up, operati

47、on and reliability of theequipment in the hot cell.6. General Requirements6.1 For safe and efficient operation, a minimum number ofmechanical drive system components should be placed in a hotcell. Unnecessary equipment in a cell adds to the cost ofoperating and maintaining the cell and adds to the e

48、ventualdecontamination and disposal costs of hot cell equipment. Athorough review of the mechanical drive systems necessary toperform the hot cell operations should be performed prior tointroducing the equipment into the hot cell.6.2 All hot cell equipment should be handled with extremecare during t

49、ransfers and installation sequences to ensureagainst collision damage.6.3 Installation should be planned and sequenced so thatother equipment is not handled above and around previouslyinstalled components to the extent practicable.6.4 Principles of good modular design and standardizationshould be considered for maintainability of equipment duringits design life. Determination should be made early in thedesign at which level of subassembly the equipment will bedisassembled and replaced if necessary. The optimal level isstrongl
