NCA-9000: Glossary - Code Items

Appurtenance. An item intended to be

attached to a completed and stamped
component which has work performed on
it requiring verification by an Inspector.
Assembly. A grouping of Code items
joined by mechanical means, welding, or
brazing.
Component. A vessel, concrete reactor
vessel, concrete containment, pump,
pressure relief valve, line valve, storage
tank, piping system, or core support
structure that is designed, constructed,
and stamped in accordance with the rules
of this Section.

Containment System. An item which

forms a structure that encloses a nuclear
power system or that may be connected to
other containment items and which is
designed to provide a pressure containing
barrier for the primary purpose of
containing, within leakage limits, or of
channeling, for containment or for
controlled
disposal,
radioactive
or
hazardous effluents released from the
system.
Core
Support
Structures.
Those
structures or parts of structures which are
designed to provide direct support or
restraint of the core (fuel and blanket
assemblies) within the reactor pressure
vessel.

NCA-9000: Glossary - Code Items

Item. A product constructed under a

Certificate of Authorization (NCA-3120)
or material (NCA-1220).
Part. An item which is attached to or
becomes a portion of a component or
component support before completion
and stamping of the component or
component support. Parts have work
performed on them requiring verification
by an Inspector.
Piping Subassembly. A section of
piping system consisting of fittings and
pipes or tubes which are fabricated as
subassemblies in a shop or in the field
before being installed in a nuclear power
system.

Piping Support. A metal element which

transmits loads between the nuclear
power plant piping and the building
structure.
Piping System. A piping system is an
assembly of piping, piping supports, components, and, if applicable, component
supports of one or more Code Classes,
with a defined function as described in the
Design Specification for the piping
system.

Fabrication. Those actions required to
manufacture components, parts, and
appurtenances. These actions may
include forming, machining, assem-bling,
welding,
brazing,
heat
treating,
examination, testing, inspection, and
certification. Fabrication does not include design.

Installation. Those actions required to

place and attach components to their

NB-5522 Certification of Personnel
(a) The Employer retains responsibility for the adequacy of the program and is responsible for
certification of Levels I, II, and III nondestructive examination personnel.
(b) When ASNT is the outside agency administering the Level III basic and method examinations
[NB-5521(a) (1) (a) ], the Employer may use a letter from ASNT as evidence on which to base the
certification.
(c) When an outside agency is the examining agent for Level III qualification of the Employer's
personnel, the examination results shall be included with the Employer's record.

NB-5523 Verification of Nondestructive Examination Personnel Certification

The Certificate Holder has the responsibility to verify the qualification and certification of
nondestructive examination personnel employed by Material Organizations and qualified by them in
