BWRにおけるステンレス鋼鋳鋼製機器の熱時効評価の技術基盤
概要
Aging management technical evaluation is required for LWRs every 10 years at and after 30 years operation in Japan. Thermal aging evaluation of austenitic cast stainless steel components is one of the items of aging evaluation. Technical basis of thermal aging evaluation for BWR components such as thermal aging behavior of cast stainless steel used in Japanese BWRs, applicability of thermal aging prediction models and basic way of integrity evaluation of the components are described in this paper.
