Development of leak-before-break assessment method for Japan Sodium cooled Fast Reactor pipe, 1; Crack opening displacement assessment of thin wall pipes made of modified 9Cr-1Mo steel

Wakai, Takashi ; Machida, Hideo*; Arakawa, Manabu*; Yoshida, Shinji*; Enuma, Yasuhiro  

This was carried out to establish crack opening displacement (COD) evaluation methods used in Leak-Before-Break (LBB) assessment of sodium pipes of the Japan Sodium cooled Fast Reactor (JSFR). A COD assessment method applicable to thin walled large diameter pipe made of modified 9Cr-1Mo steel was proposed in this study. In this method, COD was calculated by classifying the components of COD; elastic, local plastic and fully plastic. In addition, the verification of this method was performed by comparing with the results of a series of four-point bending tests at elevated temperature using thin wall modified 9Cr-1Mo steel pipe containing a circumferential through wall crack. The rational leak rate evaluation method in LBB assessment was proposed.
