Purpose
The NRC has been informed that reactor components made by additive manufacturing (AM), and especially by powder bed fusion/direct metal laser melting/sintering (DMLM), are being considered for applications in the operating fleet as early as calendar year 2018. Given the anticipated level of activity, the objectives for this public meeting are to:
(1) Engage with industry and Government counterparts to obtain information needed for anticipated licensing actions related to AM.
(2) Address topics such as
a.The state-of-the-art of AM
b. Industry activities in AM
c. Reverse engineering and fabrication of reactor components
d. Irradiation testing & effects on AM
e. AM qualification
f. Standards for AM
g. Effects of process and design parameters
h. Nondestructive evaluation of components fabricated using AM
i. Corrosion behavior in AM components
j. American AM activity in international context
