Abstract

Abstract

In order to support the continue and reliable operation and the equipment life extension of AGR nuclear power stations,the structural integrity assessment technologies for high temperature components have been studied and developed by British Energy since 1980s and compiled in the internal code R5 Assessment Procedure for the High Temperature Response of Structure,.This paper provides a brief introduction to R5 procedure and its history,technology adopted,current status and further development plans.
