§ 99.05-5 Subdivision and stability.

(a) Watertight subdivision and damage stability requirements shall satisfy not less than a two-compartment standard. Whenever practicable they should be at least equivalent to that required for a conventionally

powered oceangoing passenger vessel of similar size, capacity, and tonnage.

(b) A full double bottom shall be provided, regardless of the actual length of the vessel, as required by Subpart 73.25 of Subchapter H (Passenger Vessels) of this chapter for vessels over 249 feet in length.

(c) In assessing stability, direct calculations shall be utilized which take into account the form and proportions of the hull. The details of such calculations shall be in accordance with the provisions of Parts 73 and 74 of Subchapter H (Passenger Vessels) of this chapter except that subdivision and damage stability calculations will be based on the most severe permeability assumptions applicable to each compartment, having regard for its actual

use.

§ 99.05-10 Location of nuclear system

components.

(a) The location of the nuclear system components in the vessel and the manner in which they are supported shall be approved by the Commandant. In determining the location and the necessary structural support and protection required, the effects of grounding, collision or other mishap resulting in holing of the vessel shall be considered.

(b) Reactor installations, including all potentially vulnerable primary system components, shall be placed as far inboard from the shell as practicable. Generally, the installation shall be situated inboard of a vertical surface perpendicular to the waterplane. The vertical surface shall be located at a minimum distance (measured at right angles to the centerline at the deepest loadline) inboard of the shell equal to one-fifth of the extreme breadth of the vessel. If the installation extends outboard of this vertical surface, special consideration shall be given to collision protection.

(c) Reactor installations shall be located a reasonable height above the ship's bottom, but in no case shall this height be less than the required double bottom height. Waste storage tanks and engineered safeguard systems may be permitted in the double bottom space if specifically approved by the Commandant. Consideration

shall be given to collision-analysis statistics with regard to the longitudinal (fore and aft) location of the reactor installation.

Subpart 99.10-Inspection and Certification

§ 99.10-1 Annual inspection and certification required.

(a) Every nuclear vessel subject to the regulations in this subchapter shall be inspected by the U.S. Coast Guard at least annually to ascertain that the hull, nuclear systems, machinery, equipment, appliances, etc., of the vessel comply with the applicable regulations in this chapter.

(b) Every nuclear vessel found to be in compliance with applicable requirements in this subchapter will be issued a certificate of inspection in accordance with Part 91 of this subchapter.

§ 99.10-5 Additional requirements.

(a) In addition to the requirements for inspection, test, overhaul and repair specified in this subchapter, nuclear vessels may be subject to such additional requirements as may be prescribed by the Commandant for inspection, test, overhaul and repair. For applicable requirements see Subpart 61.25 of Subchapter F (Marine Engineering) of this chapter.

(b) A prerequisite for annual recertification of the vessel will be a valid Atomic Energy Commission's facility operating license, or if nonlicensed a certificate from the Atomic Energy Commission stating that the nuclear installation complies with the requirements of the Commission.

reasonable hazard of radiation at sea or in port for crew, food, water supply, passengers, public, or waterways exists.

(b) The Atomic Energy Commission's Standards for Protection Against Radiation, set forth in 10 CFR Part 20, will be the radiation protection standards followed by the U.S. Coast Guard, except as otherwise provided for by law.

§ 99.15-3 Means for preventing uncontrolled release of radiation.

(a) The vessel's nuclear systems, including all components thereof, shall be provided with means for preventing the uncontrolled release of hazardous amounts of radioactive material to normally accessible spaces on the ship or to the ship's environment in the event of accident or malfunction of any such system.

§ 99.15-5 Atomic Energy Commission safety requirements.

(a) Before a Coast Guard certificate of inspection for a nuclear vessel will be issued, it must be shown that the nuclear system meets the safety requirements of the Atomic Energy Commission. After facility licensing, possession of a valid AEC license will attest to this fact. Prior to this licensing, a letter from the Commission to the Coast Guard with assurance that the system does meet the safety requirements of the Atomic Energy Commission is required.

§ 99.15-10 Safety Assessment.

(a) A Safety Assessment shall be prepared to permit evaluation of the nuclear powerplant and safety of the ship, and to ensure that there are no unreasonable radiation or other hazards, at sea or in port, to the crew, passengers or public, or to the waterways or food or water resources.

(b) The Safety Assessment shall be submitted to the Commandant for approval and shall always be kept up-todate.

(c) The Safety Assessment will be used as a basis for establishing orderly negotiations between the United States and governments of countries which a nuclear vessel intends to visit
