| Abstract | Reactor internals of VVER reactors are heavy components made of austenitic steel 08Kh18N10T. As they are close to the reactor core, they receive very high dose during their operation, which causes significant embrittlement. Their brittle fracture initiation has to be excluded during all operating conditions including emergency conditions to maintain its functionality and to avoid mechanical damage of fuel assemblies. During the emergency event the reactor internals are loaded by highly non-uniform temperature field due to thermal shock and also by dynamical loading due to non uniform pressure load. The temperature loading is relatively slow (critical time is about 100 s after beginning of the emergency event), while the mechanical loading is very fast (critical time is about 0.1 s after beginning of emergency event). The worst emergency event for both types of loading is LB LOCA. Due to this fact, both loading types can be assessed separately. This paper deals with the temperature loading. The procedure for fracture mechanical assessment of VVER reactor internals is given in “Guidelines for Integrity and Lifetime Assessment of Components and Piping in VVER Nuclear Power Plants (IAEA-NULIFE-VERLIFE)”, Appendix C “Integrity and Lifetime Assessment Procedure of RPV Internals in VVER NPP’s During Operation”. The procedure prescribes postulated cracks in the components and allowable value of J-integral in dependency on dose and temperature. The assessment of brittle fracture initiation is based on comparison of J-integral calculated for postulated crack for the assessed emergency regime with its allowable value. In the paper, brief description of both the VVER reactor internals design and methodology of the assessment are presented, and also some examples of the results are shown. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
