AISC Releases New Version of Nuclear Specification (ANSI/AISC N690-24)
CHICAGO – The latest version of the Specification for Safety-Related Steel Structures for Nuclear Facilities (ANSI/AISC N690-24) is now available at aisc.org/standards.
This version supersedes the 2018 edition and is derived from the 2022 Specification for Structural Steel Buildings.
“This edition marks 40 years from the standard’s first publication,” said James Malley, chair of the AISC Committee on Specifications. “Decades of constant evolution have made this the go-to standard for safety-related steel structures in nuclear facilities. I am grateful to the work of the committee as well as Task Committee 11—Nuclear Facilities and the leadership of TC 11 Chair Ron Janowiak.”
The latest revision includes significant updates to the requirements for steel-plate composite structural elements incorporating the latest research, a new appendix containing special design provisions for impactive and impulsive loading, and modifications to the nondestructive testing provisions for ultrasonic and radiographic testing.
The 2024 edition can be downloaded at aisc.org/standards.
