Nuclear industry pneumatic pipework

[gravitate]

Is there any pros or cons from using compression fitting or screw in fittings for small bore stainless steel pneumatic pipework that supply valve actuators? Is there anything in the nuclear industry that is related to this at all please? Also it is possible to use seamless nylon tubing.
I can see the advantages and disadvantages of each. I.e screw in is easier for maintenance and nylon tubing is eaier for install etc. but is there any requirements of where these can be used?
