- Additional information
- Creep cavitation were compared in two cracked weldments components removed after prolonged high temperature operation in nuclear power plants using small angle neutron scattering (SANS). Consistent measurement of cavities up to 350 nm in size were reported around the crack in both weldments. As a result of this study, the research community can now reliably use SANS for volumetric measurement of creep damage, which is a primary input in life assessment procedures used in nuclear power plants.
