Provisions to prevent strain-induced corrosion cracking in ferritic piping systems of boiling water reactors

  • 1. Kraftwerk Union A.G., Erlangen (Germany, F.R.)

Description

Based on failure analysis and evaluations of laboratory test results, system areas are localized which are to be regarded as susceptible to strain-induced corrosion cracking (SICC). Possible systems engineering, operational, design and manufacturing provisions for preventing SICC are described. Necessary measures have already been taken by BWR operators, acting in part together with authorised experts and licensing authorities, in the case of plants which are in operation. (orig.)
