Title: LWR Pressure Vessel Surveillance Dosimetry Improvement Program for NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) Materials Engineering Branch: 1985 summary annual report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6943253

The objective of this program is to make measurements in neutron fields (''Benchmark'' and reactor ''Test Surveillance Regions'') for the subsequent validation/calibration of available state-of-the-art physics-dosimetry-metallurgy, damage correlation, and associated reactor analysis procedures and data. These procedures and data are in turn used for predicting the integrated effects of neutron exposure to Light Water Reactor (LWR) Pressure Vessel (PV) and support structure steels from the results of research reactor tests and power reactor surveillance programs. The program work includes: (1) selection of the neutron field, (2) validation/calibration of physics-dosimetry-metallurgy, damage correlations, and the associated reactor analysis procedures and data using these fields, (3) preparation and editing of a series of 22 supporting NUREG reports, and (4) preparation and establishment of a set of 21 ASTM-recommended standard Practices, Guides, and Methods. 53 refs., 12 figs., 14 tabs.
