Thispractice includes the minimum requirements for the design ofa surveillance program, selection of vessel material to beincluded, and a schedule for evaluation of

5、e applies only to the planning and design ofsurveillance programs for reactor vessels designed and builtafter the effective date of this practice. Previous versions ofPractice E 185 apply to earlier reactor vessels.1.4 This practice does not provide specific procedures formonitoring the radiation in

6、duced changes in properties beyondthe design life, but the procedure described may provideguidance for developing such a surveillance program.NOTE 1The increased complexity of the requirements for a light-water moderated nuclear power reactor vessel surveillance program hasnecessitated the separatio

Significance and Use4.1 Predictions of neutron radiation effects on pressurevessel steels are considered in the design of light-watermoderated nuclear power reactors. Changes in system operat-ing parameters

34、often are made throughout the service life of thereactor vessel to account for radiation effects. Due to thevariability in the behavior of reactor vessel steels, a surveil-lance program is warranted to monitor changes in the proper-ties of actual vessel materials caused by long-term exposure tothe n

This practice describes the criteria that shouldbe considered in planning and implementing surveillance testprograms and points

36、 out precautions that should be taken toensure that: (1) capsule exposures can be related to beltlineexposures, (2) materials selected for the surveillance programare samples of those materials most likely to limit the operationof the reactor vessel, and (3) the tests yield results useful forthe eva

38、.3 The design of a surveillance program for a given reactorvessel must consider the existing body of data on similarmaterials in addition to the specific materials used for thatreactor vessel. The amount of such data and the similarity ofexposure conditions and material characteristics will determin

Surveillance Program Design5.1 This section describes the minimum requirements forthe design of a surveillance program for monitoring theradiation-induced changes in the mechanical properties offerritic materials in the reactor vessel beltline

40、 region.5.2 Test Materials5.2.1 Materials Selection:5.2.1.1 Surveillance test materials shall be full thicknesssamples taken from each of the actual materials used infabricating the beltline of the reactor vessel or from weldmentsfabricated to match the reactor vessel weld(s). These surveil-lance te

41、st materials shall include a minimum of one heat of thebase metal and one weld.NOTE 3If there is no weld in the beltline, then there is no requirementto include weld material in the surveillance program. However, it may beprudent to include the weld with the highest projected EOL DRTNDTvalue.5.2.1.2

42、 The base metal and weld metal materials included inthe program shall be those predicted to be most limiting foroperation of the reactor to compensate for radiation effectsduring its lifetime. The beltline materials shall be evaluated onthe basis of adjusted reference temperature. The predictedchang

43、es in the initial properties as a function of chemicalcomposition and the neutron fluence during reactor operationshall be determined in accordance with Guide E 900. The basemetal and the weld with the highest adjusted reference tem-perature at end-of-life shall be selected for the surveillanceprogr

44、am.5.2.1.3 The adjusted reference temperature of each materialin the reactor vessel beltline shall be determined by adding theappropriate value of transition temperature shift to the refer-ence temperature of the unirradiated material plus an appro-priate margin. The reference temperature shift can

45、be deter-mined from the relationship found in Guide E 900.5.2.2 Material SamplingA minimum test program shallconsist of the material selected in 5.2.1, taken from thefollowing locations: (1) base metal from each plate or forgingused in the beltline, and (2) each weld metal made with thesame heat of

46、weld wire and lot of flux and by the same weldingprocedure as that used for each of the beltline welds. The basemetal used to fabricate the weldment shall be one of the basemetals included in the surveillance program.NOTE 4Experience has shown that it is no longer necessary to includethe heat-affect

47、ed zone material in the surveillance program. However, it isrecommended that the heat-affected-zone material be included with thearchives (see 5.2.5).5.2.3 Fabrication HistoryThe fabrication history (austen-itizing, quench and tempering, and post-weld heat treatment) ofthe test materials shall be fu

48、lly representative of the fabricationhistory of the materials in the beltline of the reactor vessel andshall be recorded.5.2.4 Chemical Analysis RequirementsThe chemicalanalysis required by the appropriate product specifications forthe surveillance test materials (base metal and as-depositedweld met

49、al) shall be recorded and shall include phosphorus (P),sulfur (S), copper (Cu), vanadium (V), silicon (Si), manganese(Mn), and nickel (Ni), as well as all other alloying and residualelements commonly analyzed for in low-alloy steel products.The product analysis shall be as described in Test MethodA 751 and verified by analyzing samples selected from thebase metal and the as-deposited weld metal.5.2.5 Archive MaterialsTest stock to fill up to six addi-tional capsules with test specimens of the base metal and weldmaterials used in the program shall be retained
