Modularization Techniques and ASME Code Rules, is an online course designed to provide an understanding of how to apply Code rules regarding Shop Assembly and Field Installation activities as they relate to modularization techniques. Students will use ASME Section III, Rules for Construction and Nuclear Facility Components, as specified for primarily Class 1 components (NB), but will also learn about other classifications that affect the scenarios presented.

This course has an audio component. Students will need audio capability (speakers/headset) for these sessions.
