Abstract

Configuration management (CM) is the process of identifying and documenting characteristics of plant structures, systems and components (SSCs), and of ensuring that changes to these characteristics are properly assessed, approved, implemented, verified and recorded. The purpose of this study is to examine regulation and technical standards developed under different concepts and level of depth for classification of nuclear SSCs as an essential prerequisite of the CM. In this context, main contents of currently adopted NSSC Notice 2016-10 are reviewed and compared with those in recently published ANSI/ANS 58.14 and IAEA SSG-30. The technical standards were prototypically used for classification of O-rings in two nuclear systems. It is found that ANSI/ANS 58.14 results in different categories taking into account specific features while IAEA SSG-30 leads to same categorization of the O-rings. Key findings will be summarized for Korean regulatory amendment in the future.
