Repair Welding of Fusion Reactor Components

Description: Recent experimental investigations indicate that the repair welding of irradiated materials containing greater than 1 to 2.5 appm helium leads to catastrophic cracking in the heat affected zone of the weld. The high temperatures and cooling tensile stresses which occur during the welding process lead to enhanced helium bubble growth in the heat affected zone region, resulting in catastrophic cracking upon cooling. An investigation is proposed which seeks to determine the effect of stress state … more

Validation issues in aging risk evaluations

Description: Validation issues in aging risk evaluations are examined by considering how variabilities and uncertainties due to sparse component aging data, modeling assumptions, and risk quantification approaches may affect aging risk evaluation results and inferences. Sensitivity studies using a NUREG-1150 PWR evaluated the effect of component aging data uncertainties and variations in test and maintenance frequencies on aging prioritizations. Preliminary results indicate that while individual component r… more

Draft 1992 : Operations, Maintenance, and Replacement 10-Year Plan.

Description: Two years ago, BPA released its first-ever Operations, Maintenance, and Replacement (OM R) 10-Year Plan. That effort broke new ground and was an extensive look at the condition of Operations, Maintenance, and Replacement on BPA's power system. This document -- the 1992 OM R 10-Year Plan -- uses that original plan as its foundation. It takes a look at how well BPA has accomplished the challenging task set out in the 1990 Plan. The 1992 Plan also introduces the Construction Program. Construction'… more
