Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meutron radiation embrittlement of nuclear reactor vessels continues to be a major concern of the USNRC. Research is sponsored for improving understanding of radiation embrittlement effects to predict margins of safety and to improve regulations. Regulatory issues that are affected by neutron embrittlement are examined and related to NRC research. Factors that control radiation embrittlement are examined. A comprehensive collection of radiation embrittlement data from surveillance reports and other published reports has been compiled in a computerized data base (PR-EDB). Fracture toughness data for irradiated pressure vessel steel has provided the basis for crack initiation and crack arrest toughness curves. Work is in place to improve our ability to predict thermal annealing recovery and reembrittlement. Areas where additional data are needed are described.

Book Synopsis Impact of U.S. NRC Reactor Vessel Embrittlement Research on Regulation of Nuclear Power Plants by : CZ. Serpan
Download or read book Impact of U.S. NRC Reactor Vessel Embrittlement Research on Regulation of Nuclear Power Plants written by CZ. Serpan and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The embrittlement of nuclear reactor pressure vessels caused by neutron radiation is the chief aging mechanism of these critical components. It is so critical to safe operation of reactors that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) and its predecessor, the Atomic Energy Commission, have spent millions of dollars over the past three decades to document the effects. Furthermore, USNRC regulations and associated regulatory documents derived from that research basis now provide guidance on establishing operational conditions to assure that the pressure vessels of U.S. reactors will behave in a ductile manner, and that vessel materials will exhibit a sufficiently high resistance to ductile fracture.
Book Synopsis Irradiation Embrittlement of Reactor Pressure Vessels (RPVs) in Nuclear Power Plants by : Naoki Soneda
Download or read book Irradiation Embrittlement of Reactor Pressure Vessels (RPVs) in Nuclear Power Plants written by Naoki Soneda and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reactor Pressure Vessels (RPVs) contain the fuel and therefore the reaction at the heart of nuclear power plants. They are a life-determining structural component: if they suffer serious damage, the continued operation of the plant is in jeopardy. This book critically reviews irradiation embrittlement, the main degradation mechanism affecting RPV steels, and mitigation routes for managing the RPV lifetime. Part I reviews RPV design and fabrication in different countries, with an emphasis on the materials required, their important properties, and manufacturing technologies. Part II then considers RVP embrittlement in operational nuclear power plants using different reactors. Chapters are devoted to embrittlement in light-water reactors, including WWER-type reactors and Magnox reactors. Finally, Part III presents techniques for studying embrittlement, including irradiation simulation techniques, microstructural characterisation techniques, and probabilistic fracture mechanics. Irradiation Embrittlement of Reactor Pressure Vessels (RPVs) in Nuclear Power Plants provides a thorough review of an issue that is central to the safety of nuclear power generation. The book includes contributions from an international team of experts, and will be a useful resource for nuclear plant operators and managers, relevant regulatory and safety bodies, nuclear metallurgists and other academics in this field Discusses reactor pressure vessel (RPV) design and the effect irradiation embrittlement can have, the main degradation mechanism affecting RPVs Examines embrittlement processes in RPVs in different reactor types, as well as techniques for studying RPV embrittlement

Book Synopsis Overview of U.S. Research and Regulatory Activities on Neutron Radiation Embrittlement of Pressure Vessel Steel by : PN. Randall

This book was released on 1989 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is in several parts: the first presents an overview of research activities sponsored by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on neutron irradiation embrittlement of pressure vessel steels. A series of irradiation experiments have evaluated effects of chemistry on the fracture toughness properties of submerged arc welds representing current nuclear vessel fabrication practices and provide data to validate ASME Code practices. A correlation between Charpy energy and fracture toughness is being studied as is a program on radiation sensitivity to define the role of dose rate and to study the effects of postirradiation heat treatment (annealing). The development of a comprehensive data base for radiation embrittlement data has been initiated and is being applied in a correlation of reactor surveillance data with test reactor data. A comprehensive dosimetry effort has produced validated standard methods for calculating and measuring neutron flux and fluence parameters and the correlation of these parameters to embrittlement of pressure vessel steels in light water reactors. Our knowledge of radiation damage to reactor vessels has also been greatly increased in recent years by the accumulation of power reactor surveillance data and by better models and better analysis techniques applied to that data. Unfortunately, the results show that radiation damage is often more than previously predicted, using Revision 1 of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.99, and will result in more restrictive pressure temperature limits. The second part of this paper describes some of the system and operational impacts produced, which in turn lead to challenges to long-established safety margins. Finally, a number of outstanding issues which require further research are discussed, many of which will require better understanding of radiation damage mechanisms.
Book Synopsis NRC Safety Research Priorities for Reactor Vessel Embrittlement, Annealing, and Surveillance Dosimetry by : CZ. Serpan
Download or read book NRC Safety Research Priorities for Reactor Vessel Embrittlement, Annealing, and Surveillance Dosimetry written by CZ. Serpan and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent definition of a postulated thermal shock accident followed promptly by system repressurization, termed an overcooling or pressurized thermal shock accident, has set a large analysis and research effort into motion. The essential elements are concerned with defining the accident transients, evaluating the instrumentation and controls that cause the postulated accidents, and evaluating the metallurgical and structural mechanics aspects of the reactor vessel with respect to its failure potential. This paper poses the question faced by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for the vessel steel embrittlement, annealing, and surveillance dosimetry facets of this postulated accident and provides information on our plans for study of this problem as well as current status.
