Abstract:Most of today’s operating nuclear plants that were originally designed for 30 or 40-year life are facing the long-term operation issues. Therefore, it is of meaningful importance to assess the time-dependent degradation and the ageing of the relevant nuclear systems, structures, and components (SSCs) because of resulting loss of structural capacity.
In this framework, the inverse method is implemented starting from temperatures at an accessible boundary, which are measured through a monitoring s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
