Recent experience and new developments in reactor pressure vessel manufacture
Description
In this paper, Framatome's recent experience and new developments in the manufacture of pressurized water reactor (PWR) reactor pressure vessel (RPV)s is described to show the very high standards of quality achieved to meet the most stringent requirements. Outstanding new developments include: qualification and utilisation of thick forged shell rings made from large hollow ingots; fully automatic submerged arc narrow gap welding; electroslag stainless steel cladding process; nozzle buttering by automatic hotwire TIG process
