Description

It is required that the fatigue analysis be done for nuclear reactor components composing of the reactor pressure boundary. Based on worldwide researches, it is found that the fatigue design curves currently used in the analysis have no enough margins considering the coolant environmental effect. So regulatory bodies together with the nuclear industry in the world become getting involved in the process to solve the problem. This paper gives general information related with the research work and discusses the NRC method for environmental assisted fatigue, and possible ways are recommended to deal with the potential issues that may arise.
