Preventive detection of incipient failure and improvement of availability of French PWR using acoustic emission

Creators

  • 1. CGE, 75 - Paris (France)

Description

Laboratory tests, on site experience gained on PWR during start up test as well as during nominal functioning have given FRAMATOME very great confidence in A.E. techniques for preventive detection of incidents. Loose part and leakage monitoring are already being used on an industrial basis. Crack growth detection and monitoring are still in the investigation phase and various. Research and Development programs are presently being carried out
