Abstract:
Current design procedures for nuclear containment vessels are based on elastic analyses. Though such techniques are adequate under normal operating conditions, if the potential risks associated with extreme environments or accident conditions are to be assessed, knowledge of the ultimate capacity of the containment structure is essential. A key technical question is whether penetrations, such as personnel hatches, weaken the containment structure. In this paper, the maximum pressure sustained by a scale model, steel, nuclear containment vessel with a penetration is determined using a three-dim

Abstract:
Over the last two years, concern has been generated about the capabilities of performing nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of the closure-head penetrations in nuclear-reactor pressure vessels. These penetrations are primarily for instrumentation and control rod drive mechanisms (CRDMs) and are usually thick-walled Inconel tubes, which are shrink-fttted into the steel closure head. The penetrations are then welded between the outside surface of the penetration and the inside surface of the closure head. Stress corrosion cracks initiating at the inner surface of the penetration have been reported

Abstract:
The nuclear industry requires rapid and high quality joining of large scale components. Electron beam welding (EBW) has the potential to respond to these requirements. The aim of Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (Nuclear AMRC) is to develop solutions for the future application of this technology. One example is the research on deep penetration EBW for joining large scale pressure vessels for small modular nuclear reactors. This will require several circumferential welds of ~ 6 metres length each. In addition joining of sections of the upper and lower vessel heads and of HIP secti
