概要
Bare metal visual examination (BMV) is required for dissimilar metal welds of class 1 component for PWR (Pressurized Water Reactor) in inspection and evaluation guidelines published by Japan Nuclear Safety Institute (JANSI). However, there have been no guidelines which specify the procedures for BMV. In 2021, the guideline stipulating specific procedures for BMV were established by JANSI. This guideline includes both lessons-learned related to the boric acid corrosion on reactor pressure vessel upper head at the Davis-Besse nuclear power plant in the USA and other operational experiences with reactor coolant system leakage, which are intended to alert the examiners to the possibility of similar events occurring at domestic nuclear power plants. In this paper, the guideline for BMV established in 2021 is overviewed.
