LWR Pressure-Vessel Surveillance Dosimetry-Improvement Program. Quarterly progress report, October-December 1982
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. The primary objective of this multilaboratory program is to prepare an updated and improved set of physics-dosimetry-metallurgy, damage correlation, and associated reactor analysis ASTM Standards for LWR pressure vessel and support structure irradiation surveillance programs. Supporting this objective are a series of analytical and experimental validation and calibration studies in Standard, Reference, and Controlled Environment Benchmark Fields, research reactor Test Regions, and operating power reactor Surveillance Positions. These studies will establish and certify the precision and accuracy of the measurement and predictive methods recommended in the ASTM Standards and used for the assessment and control of the present and end-of-life (EOL) condition of pressure vessel and support structure steels.
