Abstract | Reactor pressure vessels are components that are practically not replaceable and thus they determine the lifetime of the whole NPP. The lifetime of reactor pressure vessels is determined by the level of he material degradation as well as by the existence of defects found during in-service inspection and their size and location. According to some codes, it is necessary to have a procedure for the repair of potential defects found during in-service inspection that can be non-acceptable from the point of view of assurance of required RPV lifetime. A wide experimental program was realized to propose, check and approve a procedure for repair of potential defects in the underclad region of WWER-440 (WWER = Water-Water-Energy-Reactor = PWR type) reactor pressure vessels during operation. The experimental program was realized on as-received materials as well as on materials subjected to simulated ageing to a level representing the expected material embrittlement after design reactor lifetime. The main requirements for this procedure were: the RPV will not be pre-heated during repair welding, and no post-weld heat treatment will be applied. The maximum repair depth will be 40 mm including austenitic cladding thickness (8 to 10 mm). The procedure was developed and checked by series of mechanical testing (hardness, fracture toughness, impact notch toughness as well as by detailed metallography studies). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
