The development of periodic inspection requirements for CANDU-type reactors
Description
Work is progressing in Canada to develop a guide better suited to the inspection of CANDU-reactor systems than ASME Code Section XI an 'In-service Inspection of Nuclear Reactor Coolant Systems'. This was intended for light water reactor systems where the major component is a thick-walled reactor pressure vessel and it is therefore not fully appropriate to heavy water CANDU-reactor systems which are comprised mainly of thin-walled pipe-like components. The background to the Canadian effort is reviewed and at the same time the principles on which the approach is being based are discussed. (author)
