Download or read book U S Plant Experience with Alloy 600 Cracking and Boric Acid Corrosion of Light Water Reactor Pressure Vessel Materials written by U.s. Nuclear Regulation Comion and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report includes a summary of foreign and domestic Alloy 600 cracking experience, an analysis of the Alloy 600 cracking susceptibility model for vessel head penetration (VHP) nozzles, and information on corrosion of pressure boundary materials in boric acid solutions. This report combines information that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has collected in response to Davis-Besse Lesson Learned Task Force Recommendations 3.1.1(1) and 3.1.4(1). The survey of Alloy 600 cracking suggests that Alloy 600 and its associated welds (Alloys 182 and 82) are susceptible to crack nucleation and growth in a wide range of applications. The intent of inspection is to identify and remediate the cracking before it can challenge safety systems. VHP nozzle inspection results indicate that the effective degradation years (EDY) model is efficacious and does not suggest a need to revise the model in the short term. However, the EDY calculation is becoming less significant as a result of reactor vessel head replacement. Both the NRC and the industry have implemented boric acid corrosion test programs. Pieces of the Davis-Besse reactor vessel head have been removed and shipped to Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, where they will be examined. The results of the NRC's boric acid corrosion test program at Argonne National Laboratory have shown that the galvanic difference between A533 Grade B Steel, Alloy 600, and 308 stainless steel (used in reactor pressure vessel cladding) is not significant enough to consider galvanic corrosion as a strong contributor to the overall boric acid corrosion process. In addition, the NRC's test program has revealed that the corrosion rate of A533 Grade B steel in humidified salts of H-B-O (a mixture of boric acid species and water) can cause wastage at rates as high as those for saturated aqueous solutions. The industry program, headed by the Electric Power Research Institute, is expected to be completed in 2006.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corrosion of nuclear materials, i.e. the interaction between these materials and their environments, is a major issue for plant safety as well as for operation and economic competitiveness. Understanding these corrosion mechanisms, the systems and materials they affect, and the methods to accurately measure their incidence is of critical importance to the nuclear industry. Combining assessment techniques and analytical models into this understanding allows operators to predict the service life of corrosion-affected nuclear plant materials, and to apply the most appropriate maintenance and mitigation options to ensure safe long term operation.This book critically reviews the fundamental corrosion mechanisms that affect nuclear power plants and facilities. Initial sections introduce the complex field of nuclear corrosion science, with detailed chapters on the different types of both aqueous and non aqueous corrosion mechanisms and the nuclear materials susceptible to attack from them. This is complemented by reviews of monitoring and control methodologies, as well as modelling and lifetime prediction approaches. Given that corrosion is an applied science, the final sections review corrosion issues across the range of current and next-generation nuclear reactors, and across such nuclear applications as fuel reprocessing facilities, radioactive waste storage and geological disposal systems.With its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors, Nuclear corrosion science and engineering is an invaluable reference for nuclear metallurgists, materials scientists and engineers, as well as nuclear facility operators, regulators and consultants, and researchers and academics in this field. - Comprehensively reviews the fundamental corrosion mechanisms that affect nuclear power plants and facilities - Chapters assess different types of both aqueous and non aqueous corrosion mechanisms and the nuclear materials susceptible to attack from them - Considers monitoring and control methodologies, as well as modelling and lifetime prediction approaches

Book excerpt: The black box is orange—and there are actually two of them. They house the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder, instruments vital to airplane crash analyses. But accident investigators cannot rely on the black boxes alone. Beginning with the 1931 Fokker F-10A crash that killed legendary football coach Knute Rockne, this fascinating book provides a behind-the-scenes look at plane wreck investigations. Professor George Bibel shows how forensic experts, scientists, and engineers analyze factors like impact, debris, loading, fire patterns, metallurgy, fracture, crash testing, and human tolerances to determine why planes fall from the sky—and how the information gleaned from accident reconstruction is incorporated into aircraft design and operation to keep commercial aviation as safe as possible.
