Materials Reliability Program: Nondestructive Evaluation Technology for Detection of Thermal Fatigue Damage in Piping (MRP-23, Revision 2)
Nuclear plant operating experience has indicated that thermal fatigue cracking can occur in a shallow cracking network (called crazing) or as isolated cracking. This report provides the technical basis for mockup fabrication and nondestructive evaluation procedures for piping and nozzles susceptible to thermal fatigue damage.
