Description

The research reactor IEA-R1 was initially designed and constructed based on using materials and components meeting American standards and industrial practices at the time of its construction (1956-1957). In this paper, a brief description of the procedures for the evaluation of the aging effects on the research reactor IEA-R1 is presented considering the improvement in the technologies from the time of construction to present, and the upgrade for increasing the reactor power and its life extension.
