SNUG Conference Agenda Register With SNUG To Attend The SNUG Conference The ASME Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Code Meetings are geared to assist those who are involved in the inservice testings of pumps, valves or snubbers at commercial nuclear power plants.  These meetings are held semi-annually to allow those that are members of the task groups, subgroups, subcommittees and Standards Committee of the ASME O&M Code to come together to discuss ways to improve the Code.  These Code groups are made up of utility personnel, manufacturing personnel, service organization personnel, regulators and consultants.  These personnel continue to strive to make the Codes that govern inservice testing in the nuclear industry better documents so that utilities can continue to operate their nuclear power plants safely and efficiently.
