Preface
This is the third edition of CSA N287.5, Examination and testing requirements for concrete containment structures for nuclear power plants. It supersedes the previous editions, published in 1993 and 1981 under the title Examination and Testing Requirements for Concrete Containment Structures for CANDU Nuclear Power Plants. The title has been changed to reflect a scope change, from addressing CANDU® reactors to including any nuclear power plant.

In CSA standards, "shall" is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; "should" is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and "may" is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard.
