Full Description
The GEN IV reactor concepts require structural components to operate at high temperatures in a
regime where creep damage may occur and cracks may grow. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) has identified the lack of a quantitative methodology for evaluating creep and
creep crack growth as a shortcoming of the ASME Subsection NH (Class 1 Components in Elevated
Temperature Service) standard [1]. The development of elastic-plastic fracture mechanics methods
and the concepts of leak-before-break (LBB) were led by the needs of the nuclear industry. These
crack assessment methods are now well established and used routinely in PWR and BWR plant
extension applications and new designs. Quantitative creep and creep-fatigue crack growth
assessment procedures are now needed for these GEN IV developments.
