AGING ASSESSMENT AND LICENSE RENEWALS: Plant Life Management For The First Stage Boiling Water Reactor

摘要

The first stage Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs) have been operating more than 25 years. Some components have potential of failure by aging. So, evaluations have been done for the main components such as Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV), Reactor Internals, Primary Coolant Piping, Reactor Recirculation Pump, Cable (Inside PCV), Primary Containment Vessel (PCV) and Concrete Structure. This evaluation has been done by joint study between electric utilities and manufactures to confirm integrity and identify necessary development.
