Contextualizing unique experience in the nuclear power industry to understand the interrelationship between material mechanical behavior, fracture mechanics, and aging/embrittlement. Presentation to discuss material specifications for component replacement and new plants, failure analysis, materials testing, fracture mechanics, and material aging evaluations for upgrades, repairs and license renewal for nuclear power plants. Areas of specific focus include analysis of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) integrity, RPV internals aging, and other reactor coolant system materials. Other areas of targeted discussion include materials reliability programs for utilities, the Pressurized Water Reactor Owners Group Materials Committee, and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). Focused discussion of the master curve method (direct fracture toughness) for the benefit of the utilities operating pressurized water reactors, improved operation and enabling operation beyond 80 years.
