Design Preparation for the in-Service Inspection of a Light Water Nuclear Power Station

摘要

The requirements imposed by in-service inspection (ISI) both on the design of the components and on the possibility of access to them are analyzed. The components considered are those which, according to Section I of the ASME XI Code, require in-service inspection, i.e., the components (and their supports) which are subject to pressure, in classes 1, 2 and 3 according to ASME Code III, and those others which require functional tests in a light water nuclear power station. The examinations and tests are described at sufficient length and in sufficient detail to render the drawing up of the design and access requirements imposed by ISI understandable.
