Purpose and Scope.

This standard provides

A common basis on which protective coatings (paints) for nuclear facilities may be evaluated and selected by reproducible tests (Sections 2 to 7).

Guidelines for surface preparation, application, and inspection of these coatings in the shop and in the field (Sections 8 to 10).

Under the environmental conditions of these facilities a coating may deteriorate through exposure to temperature, moisture, ionizing radiation, contamination by radioactive nuclides and decontamination processes, chemicals (immersion, splash, fume), immersion in highly purified water, and abrasion or wear.

The scope includes

Definition of Exposure Conditions and Performance Requirements

Radiation Tolerance Tests

Decontamination Factors and Tests

Chemical Resistance Tests

Physical Properties Tests

Preparation of Test Specimens

Surface Preparation for Shop and Field Work

Coating Application for Shop and Field Work

Inspection for Shop and Field Work
