Category : Elongation
Languages : en
Pages : 12
Book Description
Up-to-date growth results on Zr-2.5Nb pressure tube material from the DIDO reactor at AERE Harwell are presented. The observed temperature dependence and magnitude of growth are significantly different from the representations in a recently published model for in-reactor deformation of pressure tubes. These differences are discussed in terms of (1) the effects of stress on growth, (2) the comparability of test reactor and power reactor conditions, and (3) the relative contributions of creep and growth to pressure tube elongation.

Book Description
Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors: CANDU, the seventh volume in the JSME Series on Thermal and Nuclear Power Generation series, provides a comprehensive and complete review of a single type of reactor in a very accessible and practical way. The book presents the full lifecycle, from design and manufacturing to operation and maintenance, also covering fitness-for-service and long-term operation. It does not relate to any specific vendor-based technology, but rather provides a broad overview of the latest technologies from a variety of active locations which will be of great value to countries invested in developing their own nuclear programs. Including contemporary capabilities and challenges of nuclear technology, the book offers practical solutions to common problems faced, along with the safe and approved processes to reach suitable solutions. Professionals involved in nuclear power plant lifecycle assessment and researchers interested in the development and improvement of nuclear energy technologies will gain a deep understanding of PHWR nuclear reactor physics, chemistry and thermal-hydraulic properties. Provides a complete reference dedicated to the latest research on Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors and their economic and environmental benefits Goes beyond CANDU reactors to analyze the popular German and Indian designs, as well as plant design in Korea, Romania, China and Argentina Spans all phases of the nuclear power plant lifecycle, from design, manufacturing, operation, maintenance and long-term operation

Author: Variability of Irradiation Growth in Zr-2.5Nb Pressure Tubes
Author: AR. CauseyPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Elongation
Languages : en
Pages : 15
Book Description
Pressure tubes in CANDU reactors are manufactured by extrusion and cold work from the Zr-2.5Nb alloy. Historically, the details of the pre-extrusion production of the tubes have changed since the first tubes were produced (1969) for Ontario Hydro's Pickering A station. The pressure tubes exhibit variations in elongation rate during service that may partially result from these changes. Irradiation growth is a component of the elongation. This paper describes the longitudinal irradiation growth of specimens prepared from pressure tubes with a range of iron contents and in which billets were extruded either in the as-forged condition or after ?-quenching.

Neutrons and Synchrotron Radiation in Engineering Materials Science
Author: Peter StaronPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 3527684506
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 635
Book Description
Retaining its proven concept, the second edition of this ready reference specifically addresses the need of materials engineers for reliable, detailed information on modern material characterization methods. As such, it provides a systematic overview of the increasingly important field of characterization of engineering materials with the help of neutrons and synchrotron radiation. The first part introduces readers to the fundamentals of structure-property relationships in materials and the radiation sources suitable for materials characterization. The second part then focuses on such characterization techniques as diffraction and scattering methods, as well as direct imaging and tomography. The third part presents new and emerging methods of materials characterization in the field of 3D characterization techniques like three-dimensional X-ray diffraction microscopy. The fourth and final part is a collection of examples that demonstrate the application of the methods introduced in the first parts to problems in materials science. With thoroughly revised and updated chapters and now containing about 20% new material, this is the must-have, in-depth resource on this highly relevant topic.
