HYDRAULIC QUALIFICATION AND TESTING OF NUCLEAR EQUIPMENTS AND INSTALLATIONS - TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS BY APPLICATION OF EUROPEAN HARMONIZED STANDARD AND DIFFERENT CODES; KTA, ASME, RCC-M, ETC

摘要

For new Nuclear Power plants construction in European Community, the evolutions between several codes and standards need precise attentions, especially for Hydro-test qualification and testing, considering that there were several manufacturers and vendors from different countries participating to the construction of a Nuclear Power Plant in One European country. It is identified that there are some differences on hydro-testing conditions considering: Harmonized standards; RCC-M code, ASME code, KTA code, Etc. This paper presents a comparison between different aspects of hydro-tests qualification and testing.
