This is the third semiannual report of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Short Cracks in Piping and Piping Welds research program. This 4-year program began in March 1990. The overall objective of this program is to verify and improve fracture analyses for circumferentially cracked large-diameter nuclear piping with crack sizes typically used in leak-before-break analyses or inservice flaw evaluations.
