New DocumentsBookNuclear Engineering Handbook,by Ken Kok. This book provides anintroduction to basic nuclear power andnuclear engineering development. Aftera historical review of nuclear reactors,the book examines current changesin technology and explores futuredirections. It describes all aspects of thenuclear fuel cycle from mining, milling,and enrichment of uranium and thoriumfuel resources, to fuel fabrication, nuclearmaterials transportation, fuel processing,and waste disposal. ISBN-1420053906,786 pages. Price: $139.95.EPRI1. EPRI Yucca Mountain Total SystemPerformance Assessment Code (IMARC)Version 10. Product ID: 1018712,Published June, 2009.This report summarizes IMARC,Version 10, beginning with an overviewof the code, followed by detaileddescriptions of individual IMARCcomponents, including linkages, testing,and benchmarking. Major IMARC FEPsare also described, with emphasis onclimate change; net infiltration; focusingof unsaturated zone groundwater flow;groundwater percolation into repositorydrifts; degradation of drip shields,cladding, and waste packages; wasteform dissolution; radionuclide transportthrough the drifts, unsaturated zone, andsaturated zone; and multiple exposurepathways in the biosphere.2. Risk-Informed Method to DetermineASME Section XI Appendix G Limits forFerritic Reactor Pressure Vessels: AnOptional Approach Proposed for ASMESection XI Appendix G. Product ID:1016600, Published June, 2009.A risk-informed procedure hasbeen developed to define an optionalalternative to the current ASME SectionXI, Appendix G deterministic methodfor determining leak test temperatureand heat-up and cool-down pressuretemperaturelimits. This method issimple to understand and implement andremains consistent with the structure ofthe current ASME Section XI, AppendixG deterministic methodology.3. BWRVIP-218: BWRVIP Vessel andInternals Project, Alloy X-750 CharacterizationStudy. Product ID: 1019070,Published July, 2009.This report provides a review ofthe alloy X-750 components, as well astheir properties and fabrication methodsthat are present in operating BWRs. Thisinformation is used to evaluate the variabilityof the materials and to establisha basis from which prototypical alloyX-750 microstructures can be identifiedand/or manufactured for future testing toaccurately assess the performance of thismaterial in BWR environments.4. Hot Cell Examination of Hatch 1and 2 Fuel Rods. Product ID: 1019314,Published June, 2009.Two sound GE13 fuel rods wereexamined in the GE Hitachi VallecitosNuclear Center hot cells. The rods—one each from the Hatch 1 and Hatch 2reactors—were retrieved to characterizetheir performance over three cyclesrelative to the presence of thick tenaciouscrud and a common cladding material lotthat experienced corrosion-related failuresin Browns Ferry 2, which is documentedin EPRI report 1013421.5. Nondestructive Evaluation: ProgramDescription for Performance Demonstrationof Pressurized Water Reactor UpperHead Penetration Examination (2009Update), Product ID: 1019478, PublishedJuly, 2009.The Materials Reliability Program(MRP) has directed the Inspection IssuesTask Group (ITG) to establish a qualificationprogram for the examination ofpressurized water reactor (PWR) reactorpressure vessel upper head penetrations.This new qualification program is beingimplemented to provide the utilities witha consistent and reliable examination approachfor the upper head penetrations.6. Nuclear Maintenance ApplicationsCenter: Post Trip Voltage Prediction atNuclear and Other Generating Stations.Product ID: 1018535, Published June,2009.The objective of this Electric PowerResearch Institute (EPRI) project is toinvestigate the possibility of predictingthe switchyard voltage in a nuclear powerplant (NPP) following a trip of a nuclearunit. Two methods of post-trip voltageprediction are investigated.7. Program on Technology Innovation:Review of Interaction Between Deformationand Oxidation/Corrosion in Environmentally-AssistedCracking of LWR Materials.Product ID: 1019036, PublishedAugust, 2009.This report provides a comprehensivereview of the current state of knowledgeof environmentally assisted cracking(EAC) cracking of materials used in lightwater reactors (LWRs).8. Fuel Reliability Program: GNF PCIGuidelines Support Analyses: BWR FuelPCI Margin Assessment. Product ID:1018038, Published August, 2009.A series of EPRI fuel reliabilityGuidelines were issued in 2008 in supportof INPO’s Zero-by-2010 initiative. Forthe PCI Guideline (EPRI report 1015453,Dec 2008) development, the fuel vendors,AREVA, GNF, and Westinghouse hadprovided considerable proprietary information.This report is a reference reportto supplement the PCI Guideline, containingdetails which are unique to GNFfuel.9. Baseline Inspections of Global NuclearFuels (GNF) Fuel at Peach Bottom 2.Product ID: 1019101, Published August,2009.This report summarizes two postirradiationexamination reports of GE-14fuel operated at the Peach Bottom Unit2 (PB2)—the plant had been identifiedas a “High Priority” plant (“Priority#1”) for GE-14 fueled plants and wasrecommended for inspection prior to theend of 2010.The above documents may beobtained from EPRI Order andConference Center, 1300 West WT HarrisBlvd., Charlotte, NC 28262; telephone:(800) 313-3774, email: orders@epri.com.18 www.NuclearPlantJournal.com Nuclear Plant Journal, September-October 2009
