ANS 59.3 – Nuclear Safety Criteria for Control Air Systems

This standard provides criteria for the control air system that furnishes compressed air to nuclear safety-related components and other equipment that could affect any nuclear safety-related function in nuclear power plants. This standard provides (1) the system nuclear safety design requirements and the nonnuclear safety design recommendations for equipment, piping, instruments, and controls that constitute the control air system and (2) the nuclear safety design requirements and the nonnuclear safety design recommendations to accommodate the testing and maintenance necessary to ensure adequate performance of the control air system.
