THERMAL STRESSES IN NUCLEAR REACTOR VESSEL NOZZLES

Journal Article · · Nuclear Sci. and Eng.
OSTI ID:4165283
The thermal stresses in the nozzles of heavy-walled reactor vessels, caused by sudden changes in coolant temperature, are considered. An analysis was made of this problem for both high and low flows of cold water. The results show that the nozzle investigated (stainless steel clad nozle) can endure a large number of cycles of the worst case analyzed. (auth)
