The maximum load a pipe with or without cracks can withstand before it is predicted to fail.
A mathematical characterization of uncertainty. Examples include normal, lognormal, and uniform.
Materials located adjacent to a weld joining two sections of pipe.
A weld that joins two pipes end to end.
A crack that is oriented in a plane parallel to the transverse section of a pipe.
The smallest mass of fissionable material that will support a self-sustaining chain reaction.
A way to express the context of a Bayesian estimation in which initial data are updated as new data become available.
The end-to-end dimension of fuel material within a fuel assembly (also known as a "fuel bundle" or "fuel element").
The time required for the body to eliminate one half of the material taken in by natural biological means.
A human resources measurement equal to one staff person working full-time for one year.
As defined in Title 10, Section 20.1003, of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 20.1003), this is the sum of the individual doses received in a given period by a specified population from exposure to a specified source of radiation. For related information, see Doses in O...
The average value of the linear heat generation rate of all the fuel rods at any given horizontal plane along a fuel assembly (also known as a "fuel bundle" or "fuel element").
A United Nations agency established in 1957 to serve as a world center of cooperation in the nuclear field. The agency works with nearly 171 member States and multiple partners worldwide to promote safe, secure, and peaceful nuclear technology.
A permit granted by the NRC to approve one or more proposed sites for a nuclear power facility, independent of a specific nuclear plant design or an application for a construction permit or combined license. An ESP is valid for 10 to 20 years but can be renewed for an addition...
Another name used for the "fuel temperature coefficient of reactivity," or the change in reactivity per degree of change in the temperature of nuclear fuel. The physical property of fuel pellet material (uranium-238) that causes the uranium to absorb more neutrons away from t...
As the moderator (water) increases in temperature, it becomes less dense and slows down fewer neutrons, which results in a negative change of reactivity. This negative temperature coefficient acts to stabilize atomic power reactor operations.
The highly radioactive materials produced as byproducts of fuel reprocessing or of the reactions that occur inside nuclear reactors. HLW includes:Irradiated spent nuclear fuel discharged from commercial nuclear power reactorsThe highly radioactive liquid and solid materials r...
