French Administrative Practice and Design Codes for Nuclear Vessels.

摘要

French codes for nuclear components are presented, emphasizing the conditions of practical use. They are strongly linked to French regulations and the first part of the paper is devoted to presentation of these regulations and to the ways they are applied by authorities. The most important part is the decree of February 26, 1974 which defines the frame for codes and standards. Two codes are presented. The first one is dealing with components for water cooled nuclear boilers (RCC-M) and the second with components of Fast Breeder Reactors. (ERA citation 14:014670)
