Reactor pressure vessel (RPV) annealing and mitigation in nuclear power plants
Original language description
Radiation embrittlement is a key factor that determines the operational lifetime of any reactor pressure vessel (RPV). Several mitigation procedures can be applied for improving the mechanical state of the vessels: decreasing the neutron flux on the RPVwall (low-leakage core by inserting dummy elements), but the most effective is thermal annealing of the RPV, principally of the most critically affected area, i.e. weldments in the reactor active core beltline.
