Jul 07, 2015 · Concrete structures in nuclear power plants provide foundation, structural support, biological shielding, containment, and protection against internal and external hazards. Aging of these structures occurs and has the potential, if not controlled, to increase the risk to public health and safety. Research providing guidance on aging management of reinforced concrete structures is summarized
GET A QUOTEAssessment and management of aging in nuclear power plant concrete structures requires a more systematic approach than simple reliance on existing code margins of safety. 11 What is required is the integration of structural component function, potential degradation mechanisms, and appropriate control programs into a quantitative evaluation procedure. A methodology to demonstrate the reliable and safe performance of these structures should include identification of structures …

GET A QUOTEFeb 11, 2021 · Concrete issues other than ASR have also occurred at other nuclear power plants. Crystal River 3 was shut down due to cracking (e.g., delamination) of the concrete walls in the plant's containment building. This cracking occurred during work on an opening in the containment in preparation for a steam generator replacement project.
