scope:
The Committee on Cranes for Nuclear Power Plants was first established in 1976. In 1980, the scope of the Committee was revised, and its name was changed to the Committee on Cranes for Nuclear Facilities. In 1983, the Nuclear Underhung and Monorail (NUM) Subcommittee was established to develop a standard to cover the design, fabrication, installation, and testing of underhung and monorail equipment used in nuclear facilities. The NUM-I Standard is the result of the Subcommittee's work.
The first edition of ASME NUM-1 was approved by the American National Standards Institute on October 28, 1996.
This Standard is split into four major sections: NUM-G, General Specifications, applicable to all equipment; NUM-I, Type I equipment (i.e., equipment that is used to handle critical loads and is required to withstand a seismic event; NUM-II, Type II equipment (i.e., equipment that is not used to handle critical loads and is required to withstand a seismic event); and NUM-III, Type III equipment (i.e., equipment that is not used to handle critical loads and is not required to withstand a seismic event). A detailed Contents precedes each major section.
Suggestions for the improvement of this Standard are welcome. They should be addressed to the Secretary, ASME Committee on Cranes for Nuclear Facilities, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Three Park Avenue, New York, NY 10016-5990.
The 2000 edition of ASME NUM-1 was approved by the American National Standards Institute on May 3, 2000.
