Description / Abstract:
Purpose and Scope.
This standard provides
A common basis on which protective coatings (paints) for nuclear
facilities may be evaluated and selected by reproducible tests
(Sections 2 to 7).
Guidelines for surface preparation, application, and inspection
of these coatings in the shop and in the field (Sections 8 to
10).
Under the environmental conditions of these facilities a coating
may deteriorate through exposure to temperature, moisture, ionizing
radiation, contamination by radioactive nuclides and
decontamination processes, chemicals (immersion, splash, fume),
immersion in highly purified water, and abrasion or wear.
The scope includes
Definition of Exposure Conditions and Performance
Requirements
Radiation Tolerance Tests
Decontamination Factors and Tests
Chemical Resistance Tests
Physical Properties Tests
Preparation of Test Specimens
Surface Preparation for Shop and Field Work
Coating Application for Shop and Field Work
Inspection for Shop and Field Work
