Boiling Water Reactor Owners Group Intergranular Stress Corrosion Cracking Research Program. Executive summary, Phase 1 (1979-1983)

Technical Report · Tue Oct 01 00:00:00 EDT 1985

OSTI ID:6404056

This research program developed technologies to extend BWR piping service lifetime and to minimize outage times required for inspection and repair due to intergranular stress corrosion cracking of piping. The application and implementation of these technologies have already improved plant availability, reducing the economic impacts of IGSCC.
