Guidebook for defining RCC-E 2022 Book of Project Data (AFCEN-PTAN-05002-2023):
A “Book of Project Data” (BoPD) is required for each project (RCC-E chapter I.1100) and enables the implementation of the RCC-E requirements (I.1510). In order to promote homogeneity between projects and ease the identification of the requirements stipulated in RCC-E 2022 code, this PTAN is a template for writing a Book of Project Data. It is available in pdf and editable format, included in the RCC-E subscription or delivered with the paper format.

This document is intended for RCC-E code users to facilitate their use of the 2022 edition of the code. This publication is included in the RCC-E subscription or delivered with the 2022 RCC-E paper format.

Classification of RCC-M modification sheets up to and including the 2018 edition (AFCEN-PTAN-09001-2023):
Under French regulations applicable for the main primary (MPS) and main secondary (MSS) systems, the Operator is required to ensure that no safety-related changes to the RCC-M code since the design and construction of spare parts could question their suitability for service from a safety point of view. To this end, the modification sheets introduced in the successive editions of the code, up to and including the 2018 edition of the RCC-M, have been classified according to their relationship with safety (A sheets), regulations (R sheets) and changes in industrial practice (B sheets). This publication lists the classification of the RCC-M modification sheets up to and including the 2018 edition, for application to the spare parts designed and manufactured in accordance with these editions of the RCC-M and intended for the MPS or MSS of PWRs. This PTAN, only available in French, is included in the subscription of the RSE-M and RCC-M codes or delivered with their paper format.

This publication presents the classifications assigned by the RSE-M subcommittee to each of the modification sheets (FM) introduced in the 2022 edition of the RSE-M. In this document, each FM has been classified according to 3 criteria: its nature, its impact with regards to the use of the previous version of the code, and its impact with regards to the compliance with French regulations. This PTAN, only available in French, is included in the subscription of the RSE-M code or delivered with its paper format.
