The Light Water Reactor Pressure Vessel Surveillance Dosimetry Improvement Program (LWR-PV-SDIP) has been established by NRC to improve, test, verify, and standardize the physics-dosimetry-metallurgy, damage correlation, and the associated reactor analysis methods, procedures and data used to predict the integrated effect of neutron exposure to LWR pressure vessels and their support structures. A vigorous research effort attacking the same measurement and analysis problems exists worldwide, and strong cooperative links between the US NRC-supported activities at HEDL, ORNL, NBS, and MEA-ENSA and those supported by CEN/SCK (Mol, Belgium), EPRI (Palo Alto, USA), KFA (Juelich, Germany), and several UK laboratories have been extended to a number of other countries and laboratories. These cooperative links are strengthened by the active membership of the scientific staff from many participating countries and laboratories in the ASTM E10 Committee on Nuclear Technology and Applications. Several subcommittees of ASTM E10 are responsible for the preparation of LWR surveillance standards.
