ASTM D3842 8b=0759530 0502719 b(lb Designation:D 3842-86(Reapproved 1991).Standard Guide for Selection of Test Methods for Coatings for Use in Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3842;the number immediately fo!lowing the designation indicates the year of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon(e)indicates an editonal change since the last revision or reapproval.1 Scope i.1 This guide is intended to provide a common basis in the selection of test methods that may be required to evaluate and qualify protective coatings(paints)for use in a light-water nuclear power plant,and all the listed items are for Coating Service Level I application.It lists and describes tests to be conducted on all coatings specified for this service.1.2 This guide also lists the specifications and their scopes that describe evaluation tests for these coating systems.1.3 Coating Service Level I pertains to those coating systems whose failure could impair the operation of the engineered safety features that are essential for preventing the possible consequences of postulated accidents that could cause undue risk to the health and safety of the general public.Coating Service Level I applies principally to the interior surface of the primary containment for both Pressur-ized Water Reactors(PWR)and Boiling Water Reactors(BWR)and to the structures and equipment contained therein.Coated surfaces include,but are not limited to,carbon steel,stainless steel,galvanized steel,aluminum,and masonry.1.4 Requirements for coatings applied to other areas shall be assigned at the option of the owner or his designated representative.It is intended that this standard be incorpo-rated in specifications,by reference,on the basis of owner requirements.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its irse.It is the responsibility o f the idser of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability o f regulatory limitations prior to we.This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D-33 on Protective Coating and Lining Work for Power Generation Facilities and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D33.02 on Service and Material Parameters.Current edition approved Sept.29,1986.Published November 1986.Originally published as D 3842-80.Last previous edition D 3842-80.2.Referenced Documents 2.1 ASTM Standards:D 391 1 Test Method for Evaluating Coatings Used in Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants at Simulated Design Basis Accident(DBA)Conditions2 D 39 12 Test Method for Chemical Resistance of Coatings Used in Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants2 D 4082 Test Method for Effects of Radiation on Coatings Used in Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants2 D4256 Test Method for Determination of the Decon-taminability of Coatings Used in Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants2 3.Significance and Use in light-water nuclear power plants.3.1 This guide covers methods of testing coatings for use 4.Test Methods 4.1 Test Method D 391 1-This test method establishes procedures for evaluating protective coating systems test specimens under simulated Design Basis Accident(DBA)Conditions.Included is a desctiption of conditions and apparatus for temperature-pressure testing,condition for radiation testing,and procedures for preparing,examining,and evaluating the samples after testing.4.2 Test Method D 3912-This test method establishes procedures for the evaluation of the chemical resistance of coatings used in light-water nuclear power plants.4.3 Test Method D 4082-This test method establishes a standard procedure for evaluating the lifetime radiation tolerance of coatings to be used in nuclear power plants.4.4 Test Method D 4256-This test method establishes procedures for determining and ranking the ease of the decontaminability of coatings used in nuclear power plants.*Antriral Book o f ASEVI Sraridards,Vol 06.01.The American Society for Testing and Materials takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentioned in this standard.Users of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any such patent rights,and the risk of infringement of such rights,are entirely their own responsibility.This standard is subject to revision at any time by the responsible technical committee and must be reviewed every five years and if not revised,either reapproved or withdrawn.Your comments are invited either for revision of this standard or for additional standards and should be addressed to ASTM Headquarters.Your comments will receive careful consideratln a!a meeting of the responsible technical committee,which you may attend.if you feel that your comments have not received a fair hearing you should make your views known to the ASTM Committee on Standards,1916 Race St.,
