Numbers of nuclear power plants have been operating for more than 30 years and some of them exceeding 40 years in Japan. In these ageing plants, fatigue evaluation has a significant measure in assuring the plant reliability. The environmental fatigue in light water reactors, which was first recognized in the 1980's in Japan, has been drawing attention worldwide because it may cause remarkable effects on the life of important components. The Japanese nuclear industries developed the world's first pract...

Numbers of nuclear power plants have been operating for more than 30 years and some of them exceeding 40 years in Japan. In these ageing plants, fatigue evaluation has a significant measure in assuring the plant reliability. The environmental fatigue in light water reactors, which was first recognized i n the 1980's in Japan, has been drawing attention worldwide because it may cause remarkable effects on the life of important components.. This paper int roduces a few examples of environmental fatigue evalu...
