Aging and Life Extension of Major Light Water Reactor Components
Author: Vikram N. ShahPublisher: Elsevier Science Limited
ISBN: 9780444894489
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 943
Book Description
In a comprehensive and lucid manner this book presents an understanding of the aging degradation of the major pressurized and boiling water reactor structures and components. The design and fabrication of each structure or component is briefly described followed by information on the associated stressors. Interactions between the design, materials, and various stressors that cause aging degradation are reviewed. In many cases, aging degradation problems have occurred, and the plant experience to date is analysed. The discussions summarize the available aging-related information and are supported with extensive references, including references to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) documents, Electric Power Research Institute reports, U.S. and international conference proceedings and other publications. The book will prove a useful reference for engineers engaged in the operation and life extension of the present generation of nuclear power plants and for those engaged in the design of advanced light water reactors. It will also provide engineering students with insight into the practical materials-related issues associated with the design and operation of nuclear power plants. The work will also serve as a basis for programs to address the new aging-related issues likely to arise as plants get older.
Residual Life Assessment of Light Water Reactor Pressure Vessels

Category : Aging
Languages : en
Pages : 13
Book Description
The service-dependent degradation (aging) of light water reactor (LWR) pressure vessels due to irradiation embrittlement is discussed in this paper. The major variables which influence the irradiation embrittlement of LWR vessels are the copper and nickel content of the vessel materials and the fluence. The vessel beltline region is subjected to the largest fluences. A surveillance program, which consists of tension and Charpy-V-notch (CVN) testing of irradiated specimens of base, heat-affected-zone, and weld materials, is required to monitor changes in their embrittlement. Three main unresolved technical issues are: (1) the limited range and accuracy of the current correlations for calculating shifts in the reference temperature for nil-ductility transition (RTNDT) and changes in the Charpy upper shelf energy; (2) the need to demonstrate the conservatism of using CVN-based RTNDTshifts for certain sensitive reactor pressure vessel materials; and (3) the type of surveillance program required for any renewed operating license period. The damage caused by irradiation embrittlement can impact plant operating procedures, including heat up/cool down and hydrostatic test procedures, as well as the acceptability of various plant transients.

Lees' Loss Prevention in the Process Industries
Author: Frank LeesPublisher: Butterworth-Heinemann
ISBN: 0123977827
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 3685
Book Description
Safety in the process industries is critical for those who work with chemicals and hazardous substances or processes. The field of loss prevention is, and continues to be, of supreme importance to countless companies, municipalities and governments around the world, and Lees' is a detailed reference to defending against hazards. Recognized as the standard work for chemical and process engineering safety professionals, it provides the most complete collection of information on the theory, practice, design elements, equipment, regulations and laws covering the field of process safety. An entire library of alternative books (and cross-referencing systems) would be needed to replace or improve upon it, but everything of importance to safety professionals, engineers and managers can be found in this all-encompassing three volume reference instead. - The process safety encyclopedia, trusted worldwide for over 30 years - Now available in print and online, to aid searchability and portability - Over 3,600 print pages cover the full scope of process safety and loss prevention, compiling theory, practice, standards, legislation, case studies and lessons learned in one resource as opposed to multiple sources
