RISYankee Reactor Pressure Vessel Surveillance: Notch Ductility Performance of Vessel Steel and Maximum Service Fluence Determined From Exposure During Cores II, III, and IV
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Charpy V-notch specimens representative of one of the several heats of A302-B steel forming the Yankee reactor pressure vessel, and irradiated as part of the Yankee surveillance program, have ...
A Reassessment of Fracture-Safe Operating Criteria for Reactor Vessel Steels Based on Charpy-V Performance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fracture-safe operating criteria for commercial nuclear pressure vessels based on fracture analysis diagram procedures and Charpy-V energy trends are reappraised with respect to the effects of ...
Analysis of Radiation-Induced Embrittlement Gradients on Fracture Characteristics of Thick-Walled Pressure Vessel Steels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The fracture behavior of thick-walled nuclear vessels is considered for the case of a radiation-induced toughness gradient through the wall which characteristically results from neutron attenuation ...
