Seal welding is a repair method when crack by Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) is found in weld rtion of core internals including pressure b oundary component in nuclear power plant. Seal lding is welded directly on surface of existing SCC crack and prevents SCC propagation by la ting SCC crack from reactor water environment. In this study, development of seal welding hnology using automatic TIG Welding was executed, and the applicability of seal welding method CRD stub-tube weld portion was confirmed by ex...

When a crack is detected in nuclear reactor core internals, it is important to survey details of a crack. In this study, to survey nuclear reactor core in ternals simply, new electrolytic etching method that applies “Gel Electrode” and underwater microscope were developed. To apply “Gel Electrode”, we can see fusion boundary and grain boundary after electrolytic etching. To use underwater microscope, we can see surface figures of nuclear reactor core internals directly without taking boat samples or repli...
