This standard covers the proper design and construction of concrete structures that form part of a nuclear power plant and that have nuclear safety-related functions, but does not cover concrete reactor vessels and concrete containment structures (as defined by Joint ACI-ASME Committee 359).
The commentary, which is presented after the Code, discusses some of the considerations of ACI Committee 349 in developing “Code Requirements for Nuclear Safety-Related Concrete Structures (ACI 349-13).” This information is provided in the commentary because the Code is written as a legal document and therefore cannot present background details or suggestions for carrying out its requirements.
WJE laboratories are accredited by ANAB (ISO/IEC 17025) to perform testing standard ACI 349 for Code Requirements for Nuclear Safety-Related Concrete Structures (ACI 349-13) and Commentary.
