Materials Reliability Program: Recommended Improvements to ASME Section XI Appendix L (MRP-82)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:807446

DOE B139 A techniexecy robust approach for evaluation fatigue-sensitive locations is essential to justify extended operation for many nuclear plant components. The initial version of ASME Appendix L formed the foundation for assessing a component when the CUF exceeded 1.0. The recommended changes to Appendix L identified in this report will enhance the effectiveness of the methodology and provide for more realistic inspection intervals to monitor the potential for fatigue damage.
