BWR (Boiling Water Reactor) Owners Group Intergranular Stress Corrosion Cracking Research Program: Executive summary
- DG Engineering, Inc., Livermore, CA (USA)
This report is an Executive Summary of Phase II of the Boiling Water Reactor Owners Group Intergranular Stress Corrosion Cracking Research Program which was performed during the period 1984 through 1988. The objectives of this phase were to develop and deploy the technology required to detect and evaluate recirculation piping system cracking due to IGSCC, extend BWR piping service lifetime, and facilitate expeditious recirculation piping system repair and replacement. This report presents the objectives, descriptions, results, and conclusions of the five major Phase II tasks: Nondestructive Examination, Testing of Interim Repairs and Remedies for Cracked Piping, BWR Water Chemistry, BWR Recirculation Piping System Replacement, and Decontamination and Passivation. 185 refs., 36 figs., 6 tabs.
