Baffle Former Bolts (BFBs) in PWR nuclear plant have the possibility to be cracked due to Irradiation Assisted Stress Corrosion Cracking (IASCC). The maintenance guideline for BFBs had been established from Thermal and Nuclear Power Engineering Society in 2000, and BFBs have been maintained in accor dance with this maintenance rules. Recently, the new edition of this guideline has been published in order to reflect latest IASCC data and more preci se stress evaluation of BFB into maintenance rules. The su...

Improvement activities for the maintenance of Baffle Former Bolts

Control Rod Cluster Guide Tubes (GTs) in PWR nuclear plant have the possibility to be worn due to fluid induced vibration of Control Rod Clusters. The maintenance rul es for GTs had been established after the discussion with experts, and GTs in Japanese PWR plants have been already maintained in accordance with these maintenance ru les. In these rules, the inspection period is decided based on the wear data and the wear progressing prediction with the assumption of constant wear speed. This pape r describe...
