The ASME Section XI Code and the Future

This paper will describe the process under which the ASME Section XI Subcommittee works in addressing industry initiatives and setting of priorities and goals. Each calendar year an Operational Plan is developed which comprises the priorities and goals established for the different Subgroups and Working Groups that report directly to the Subcommittee XI. These goals include committee actions developed to respond to industry initiatives and concerns. This Operational Plan also helps establish the “work-list” of each Subgroup. This work-list provides the priority of the items to be worked on for the upcoming year. Just as any other business, the Subcommittee on Nuclear Inservice Inspection manages and prioritizes activities to meet the industry needs.
