Integration of PTS studies to calculate through-the-wall crack probabilities. [PWR]
This paper describes a NRC-sponsored research project formed to help confirm the technical basis for the proposed Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) rule, to aid in the development of guidance for licensee plant-specific PTS analyses, and to examine the effects of proposed corrective measures. The research project, still under way (10/84), consists of PTS pilot analyses for three PWRs: Oconee Unit 1, designed by Babcock and Wilcox; Calvert Cliffs Unit 1, designed by Combustion Engineering; and H.B. Robinson Unit 2, designed by Westinghouse. The study team consists of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL), Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), and Purdue University, with the results being integrated by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
