Intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) adjacent to girth welds in stainless steel piping systems has been a serious problem in boiling water reactor (BWR) plants in the United States for more than a decade. Recent observations suggest that IGSCC also may limit the service life of many reactor internals in BWRs. In this paper the pipe-cracking remedies in U.S. BWRs are described and adapting these remedies for protection of internals and attachments are presented.
