The reliability of pressurized water reactor vessels
1987The mechanical integrity of major engineering structures such as pressure vessels, pipelines, nuclear reactors, aircraft and offshore oil platforms is a matter of great practical importance for both economic and safety reasons. In practice this integrity must be assured by careful attention to many aspects of design, materials, manufacture, inspection,

Thermal and pressure stresses in cylindrical reactor pressure vessels
Nuclear Engineering and Design, 1970Abstract Transient thermal stresses and steady pressure stresses developed in long, cylindrical pressure vessels of nuclear reactors are determined analytically. The computed results of the tangential thermal and pressure stress distributions in elastic and plastic states of the pressure vessels are obtained and shown by curves.

“ULTRASONIC EXAMINATION OF AUSTENITIC WELDS AT REACTOR PRESSURE VESSELS”
Nuclear Engineering and Design, 1989Abstract Austenitic welds play an important role in reactor pressure vessels (RPV) both of pressurized water reactors (PWRs) and boiling water reactors (BWRs). These pressure retaining joints still pose problems for ultrasonic examination. During the last few years some progress has been achieved in overcoming these problems.

Conceptual design of a prestressed concrete reactor pressure vessel
Nuclear Structural Engineering, 1965Abstract A conceptual design of a horizontal cylindrical prestressed concrete reactor pressure vessel for housing a large gas-cooled high power-density reactor and power generating equipment is presented. The evolution of the geometry of the vessel design is described. Structural considerations for a full chamber-size opening are outlined. The choice
