Acoustic emission: flaw relationship for inservice monitoring of nuclear reactor pressure boundaries. [PWR; BWR]
Conference

OSTI ID:5338011
The objective of the acoustic emission (AE)/flaw characterization program is to provide an experimental feasibility evaluation of using the AE method on a continuous basis (during operation and during hydrotest) to detect and analyze flaw growth in reactor pressure vessels and primary piping. This effort is based on the philosophy that AE shows demonstrated capability for being a valuable addition to current nondestructive inspection (NDI) methods with unique capability for continuous monitoring, high sensitivity and remote flaw location.
