Complete the Planned FY24 Design Parameters Development at INL to Support the Drafting of the A709 Near-Term Code Case
This report presents the thermophysical properties measurements conducted in the Fiscal Year 2024 to extend the database up to 1000?. The new values are compared against properties of high Molybdenum steels in the ASME Section II Part D tables. This report also shows the comparison between new measurements against the previously measured values in literature […]
Draft ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Cases and Technical Bases for Use of Alloy 617 for Constructions of Nuclear Component Under Section III, Division 5
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code currently only allows five materials for use in construction of nuclear components for high temperature service. These are: 2.25Cr-1Mo and V-modified 9Cr-1Mo steels, Types 304 and 316 stainless steels and the high nickel Alloy 800H. Since 2005, the US high temperature gas-cooled reactor […]
