Proceedings of the DOE/SNL/EPRI sponsored Reactor Pressure Vessel Thermal Annealing Workshop. Volume 2

  • 1. Sandia National Labs., Albuquerque, NM (United States)
  • 2. Electric Power Research Institute, Charlotte, NC (United States)

Description

The purpose of the Reactor Pressure Vessel Thermal Annealing Workshop was to provide a forum for US utilities and interested parties to discuss relevant experience and issues and identify potential solutions/approaches related to: (1) an understanding of the potential benefits of thermal annealing for US commercial reactors; (2) on-going technical research activities; (3) technical aspects of a generic, full-scale, in-place vessel annealing demonstration; and (4) the impact of economic, regulatory, and technical issues on the application of thermal annealing technology to US plants. Experts from the international nuclear reactor community were brought together to discuss issues regarding application of thermal annealing technology in the US and identify the steps necessary to commercialize this technology for US reactors. These proceedings contain all presentation materials discussed during the Workshop. This document, Volume 2, contains sections 10 through 13, Individual papers have been cataloged separately
