PWR Pressure Vessel Integrity. UKAEA: Video Recorded Talks

摘要

The subject is discussed as follows: significance of integrity in relation to probability of other reactor accidents; lessons of experience (statistics of failure of conventional pressure vessels); influence of operation conditions; influence of design construction and operation (materials, methods of fabrication); importance of standards; a lifetime's changes (failure probability changes to be expected during 40 years). Some information about reactor pressure vessel for the projected Sizewell B plant is appended. (Atomindex citation 14:764723)
