The purpose of this Handbook is to provide fracture control implementation guidance applicable to a wide range of hardware designs and uses. A variety of fracture control considerations and options are addressed, some of which may not be applicable to a given design. Information is provided to assist the user in the development of an effective Fracture Control Plan (FCP), as well as other fracture control documentation.

The handbook addresses implementation of general requirements and responsibilities in fracture control, implementation of exempt fracture control requirements, implementation of fracture control requirements and methodologies for assessing non-fracture critical hardware and fracture critical hardware, and implementation of flaw screening, traceability, and material selection fracture control requirements, verification of fracture control requirements.
