New this year - if you order the redline edition of any 2015 BPVC section, you will receive both the official version of the code in print format, and a corresponding redline delivered electronically for one low price. BPVC-III-2-2015 contains requirements for the material, design, construction, fabrication, testing, examination, and overpressure protection of concrete reactor vessels and concrete containment structures, prestressed or reinforced. These requirements are applicable only to those components that are designed to provide a pressure retaining or containing barrier. They are not applicable to other support structures, except as they directly affect the components of the systems. This Section contains appendices, both mandatory and nonmandatory, for Division 2 construction.
