This paper reviews the state of technology concerning stress corrosion crack growth in LWR environments and reports the results from a series of experiments that attempted to duplicate the results obtained from the literature. These experiments include one conducted in a steam environment representative of the condition in the upper head of a boiling-water reactor (BWR).
