Codes and standards development for graphite-moderated nuclear reactors

  • 1. Oak Ridge National Lab., TN (United States)
  • 2. US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC (United States)

Description

This presentation will address the challenges involved in materials specification writing that involves acceptable processing methods, establishing minimum acceptable properties and properties ranges, establishing design codes that consider appropriately the inherent variability in properties of graphite, graphite failure criteria, and the inspection requirements for nuclear graphite before use and during service. The presentation will also include the status of activities related to the codes and standards development in the US and report on recent activities and directions in the ASTM and ASME standards and codes.
