BWRVIP-325: Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) Vessel and Internals Project—BWR Reactor Vessel Instrument Penetration Handbook
Instrument penetrations in a nuclear plant’s reactor pressure vessel are susceptible to a type of degradation called stress corrosion cracking. This handbook supports actions to address this concern, including assessment of nondestructive examination and repair options and related engineering analyses.
