ASME FE.1 - Rules for Construction of Fusion Energy Devices [Draft Standard for Trial Use] FE.1 - 2018

This draft standard provides rules for the construction of Fusion Energy Devices. These rules cover fusion-energy-relate d components such as vacuum vessels, cryostats, and superconducting magnet structures and the interactions of these components. Related support structures, including metallic and nonmetallic materials, containment or confinement structures, and in-vessel components such as fusion-system piping, vessels, valves, pumps, and supports, are also covered. The rules also contain requirements for materials, design, fabrication, testing, examination, inspection, certification, and stamping. The purpose of its issuance is to allow the global fusion community an opportunity to work with these proposed rules, provide needed input and revisions to the future development of this document as the evolution of fusion power with its new technologies and experiences continues in its development.
