Fatigue life of LOFT reactor vessel components

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6494378· OSTI ID:6494378
This report provides calculated LOCE lifetimes of the LOFT reactor vessel components. For each component, lifetime is defined as the greatest number of LOCE transient cycles and/or other non-LOCE transient cycles such that cumulative usage factor does not exceed 1.0. The results are presented in tabular form. The results indicate that transients other than LOCE transients govern with or instead of LOCE transients for some components. The other transients are shown in the results.
