There are crack experiences of core internal components worldwide. So Thermal and Nuclear Power Engineering Society in Japan organized the committee to prepare the appropriate inspection and evaluation guidelines for core internal components at February, 2000. This committee consists of scholars and representatives from utilities and vendors in Japan. At this committee, guidelines for rational inspection and the evaluation method for structural integrity of each core internal components have been developed. For BWR, inspection guidelines for main core internal components like shroud support, core shroud, top guide, core plate, jet pump etc. were prepared at March 2002.
