摘要
In a boiling water reactor having a core shroud disposed within a reactor vessel and a plurality of tie rods installed between vertically spaced sites on the core shroud as part of a core shroud repair, a method of measuring tie rod preload after installation includes the steps of lowering a tool into the reactor vessel from a remote location positioned externally of the reactor vessel, attaching the tool to an upper portion of a tie rod, using the tool to apply a tensile load along a longitudinal axis of the tie rod, measuring the tensile load applied to the tie rod, measuring axial displacement of the tie rod in response to the applied tensile load, plotting the applied load versus the axial displacement measured, and identifying a change in slope on the load- displacement plot occurring at a load corresponding to the tie rod preload.
