ASME OM-2 - Component Testing Requirements at Nuclear Facilities OM-2 - 2024

The ASME OM-2 Code addresses the specialized in-service testing (IST) needs of advanced reactors and small modular reactors (SMRs). Drawing on decades of experience with existing nuclear fleets, OM-2 streamlines the testing of mechanical equipment such as Dynamic Restraints Pumps Valves Designed to meet the operational and safety requirements of next-generation designs, OM-2 provides a comprehensive approach to maintaining reliability and meeting strict regulatory expectations. ASME designed ASME OM-2 with the basic prerequisite that components that are to be part of the IST program for these new facilities are appropriate for the functions that they are to provide, that they are correctly sized and specified for the parameters of the system in which they are to be installed and operating, and that the materials of their construction are compatible with the system fluid conditions, pressures, temperature, and chemistry. OM-2’s flexible structure also makes it applicable to non-nuclear facilities that require dependable mechanical component performance. Whether for nuclear or non-nuclear applications, OM-2 offers reliable and cost-effective testing that helps ensure equipment can perform as needed, helping maintain operational integrity and protect public safety.
