This engineering calculations and analysis report is a validity evaluation of the physical and mechanical property databases collected on a billet of nuclear grade graphite (i.e., NBG-18 Billet 635-4) in support of the Advanced Reactor Technologies Baseline Graphite Characterization Program. Millions of raw data points that have been collected during testing and quantification analyses for these billets, the summary scalar property values and supplementary traceability data are collected into comprehensive spreadsheets. Data sets are comprised of single billets of graphite for any given grade, organized by mechanical test specimen type and further subdivided into individual spreadsheet tabs according to the specific test or evaluation being performed. This report is not a direct analysis of properties and will not provide information on the validity or performance characteristics of the graphite itself. Rather, it is intended as a verification of the completeness of actual data collected in accordance with PLN-3467, “Baseline Graphite Characterization Plan: Electromechanical Testing,” and its representation of the measurement and test results with sole regard to the graphite billets under evaluation.
