Evaluation of the Integrity of SEP Reactor Vessels

摘要

This report includes a documented review of the integrity of the eleven reactor pressure vessels covered in the Systematic Evaluation program. This review deals primarily with the design specifications and quality assurance programs used in the vessel construction and the status of material surveillance programs, pressure-temperature operating limits, and inservice inspection of the applicable plants. Several generic items such as PWR overpressurization protection and BWR nozzle and safe-end cracking also are evaluated. The eleven vessels evaluated include Dresden Units 1 and 2, Big Rock Point, Haddam Neck, Yankee Rowe, Oyster Creek, San Onofre, LaCrosse, Ginna, Millstone 1, and Palisades.
