Description

Wall Thinning of carbon steel pipe components due to Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) is one of the most serious threat to the integrity of steam cycle piping systems in Nuclear Power Plants (NPP). The Thinned Pipe Management Program (TPMP), which was developed and implemented to all domestic NPPs have several technical items as well as the criteria of themselves. All of the ingredients of TPMP should be interrelated appropriately to obtain the reliability of thinned pipe integrity assessment results. This paper describes the technical items and concepts should be improved and considered for verifying the integrity margin of thinned pipe components
