Description

The component test ''MINERVA'' is part of an overall concept to qualify dissimilar welds in pipings of advanced gas-cooled high temperature reactors. ''MINERVA'' is designed for a testing time of 20000 h. The experiment started in January 1987. The paper describes the concept, the manufacuring parameters including the basis of selection of materials and welding procedures. The experiment MINERVA and the operating conditions are described.
