Design, Development and Optimization of a Low-cost System for Digital Industrial Radiology

IAEA Radiation Technology Reports No. 2
Subject Classification: 0500-Industrial Applications
STI/PUB/1561 (ISBN:978-92-0-129310-7) 89 pp.; 69 figures; 40.00 Euro; Language: English Date Published: 2013

DESCRIPTION

Systems for digital industrial radiology are currently quite expensive and, therefore, often unaffordable for most of the institutes and non-destructive testing groups in developing Member States. This publication provides guidance on the development of such systems at a relatively lower cost. The aims are to facilitate the acquisition of state of the art digital technology, which has tremendous potential for enhancing the speed as well as the quality of radiographic inspection, in the long run ensuring the quality of industrial equipment and components.

Training Guidelines in Non-destructive Testing Techniques: 2008 Edition

IAEA TECDOC 628 Subject Classification: - IAEA-TECDOC-628/Rev.2 (ISBN:978-92-0-112708-2) 15.00 Euro; Language: English Date Published: 2008

DESCRIPTION

This publication is a revision of IAEA-TECDOC-628/Rev.1 and provides the basic syllabus for systems for training and certification programmes of non-destructive testing (NDT) personnel in accordance with the requirements of international standard ISO 9712 (2005). The training guidelines developed to date have been used by Member States in formulating their national NDT programmes and to provide local end user industries with a skilled workforce. The present publication accommodates the latest advancements in technology and will continue to play an important role towards international harmonization in the field of NDT.

Master Curve Approach to Monitor Fracture Toughness of Reactor Pressure Vessels in Nuclear Power Plants

IAEA TECDOC 1631 Subject Classification: 0703-Reactor technology IAEA-TECDOC-1631 (ISBN:978-92-0-111009-1) 15.00 Euro;
Language: English
Date Published: 2009

DESCRIPTION

This publication provides information about the master curve approach for assessing the structural integrity of reactor pressure vessels (RPVs) under current and future operation and accident conditions in nuclear power plants (NPPs). This direct measurement of fracture toughness approach is technically superior to the correlative and indirect methods used in the past to assess irradiated RPV integrity. The results in the report should allow utility engineers and scientists to directly measure fracture toughness using small surveillance sized specimens and apply the results using the master curve approach for RPV structural integrity assessment in NPPs.
