PRESSURE VESSELS FOR GAS-COOLED GRAPHITE-MODERATED REACTORS
Journal Article
·
· J. Brit. Nuclear Energy Conf.
Design and construction principles of pressure vessels for gas-cooled graphite-moderated reactors are presented. Design of the pressure vessel is determined primarily by the general level of stress to be used, the stresses around openings, and the stresses in the region of supports. The stresses determine the plate material and the forging requirements. Welding methcds and operations, stress relief methods, and pressure testing of the vessel are also discussed. (N.W.R.)
