EPRI/NRC piping and fitting dynamic reliability program
Description
Until recently, NRC and industry efforts to improve the overall ''balance-of-design'' of piping have concentrated mainly on reducing conservatisms associated with dynamic input loads and response calculation. Now it appears that revision of the ASME Code design criteria offers the best future alternative for improving piping design. The EPRI/NRC Piping and Fitting Dynamic Reliability Program will provide the principal justification for these changes. This paper gives an overview of this research program from an NRC perspective, and notes briefly how it relates to other NRC piping research and standards activities. 37 refs
