Integrity failure experiences with reactor containments

Creators

  • 1. American Nuclear Insurers, Farmington, CT

Description

Containment test results and failure experiences through 1981 have been reviewed to determine overall industry availability of primary containment leakage integrity, to review failures, failure causes and trends, and to assess recent experience. It was found that availability is low but improving, that the more serious failures involve large valves in series, that failures at many plants are repetitive, and that BWRs have significantly lower containment availability and more frequent failures than PWRs
