Materials Reliability Program: Specification Guideline for Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking Mitigation by Surface Stress Improvement
Stress corrosion cracking is a type of degradation that can affect components in nuclear plants. Peening (also known as surface stress improvement) is a technology that can help mitigate this degradation by modifying the stress on metal surfaces. These guidelines are intended to help U.S. nuclear utilities prepare technical specifications for peening in three areas: […]
