    The document describes the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code which establishes rules for constructing nuclear power plant components. It is divided into several sections that cover materials specifications, rules for different classes of components based on their purpose and operating conditions, and guidelines for vessel inspection and maintenance. The code provides requirements for steel and concrete components as well as spent fuel storage containers used in nuclear power plants.
