A probabilistic fracture mechanics (PFM) analysis code, PASCAL, has been developed by Japan Atomic Energy Agency for failure probability and failure frequency evaluation of reactor pressure vessels (RPVs) considering neutron irradiation embrittlement and thermal transients. To strengthen the applicability of PASCAL, considerable efforts on verifications of the PASCAL code have been made in the past years. As a part of the verification activities, a working group consisted of different organizations from industry, universities and institutes, was established in Japan. In the early phase, the working group focused on verifying the PFM analysis functions for RPVs in pressurized water reactors (PWRs) subjected to pressurized thermal shock (PTS) events. Recently, the PASCAL code has been improved in order to run PFM analyses for both RPVs in PWRs and boiling water reactors (BWRs) subjected to a broad range of transients. Simultaneously, the working group initiated a verification plan for the improved PASCAL through independent PFM analyses by different organizations. Concretely, verification analyses for a PWR-type RPV subjected to PTS transients and a BWR-type RPV subjected to a low-temperature over pressure transient were performed using PASCAL. This paper summarizes those verification activities, including the verification plan, analysis conditions and results. Based on the verification studies, the reliability of PASCAL for probabilistic integrity assessments of Japanese RPVs was confirmed with confidence.

被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：20.79(Engineering, Mechanical)It has been recognized that probabilistic fracture mechanics (PFM) is a promising methodology in structural integrity assessments of pressure boundary components of nuclear power plants, because it can rationally represent the influencing parameters in their inherent probabilistic distributions without over conservativeness. A PFM analysis code PASCAL has been developed by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency to evaluate the through-wall cracking frequencies of domestic reactor pressure vessels (RPVs) considering neutron irradiation embrittlement and pressurized thermal shock (PTS) transients. In this study, as a part of the verification activities, a working group was established with seven organizations from industry, universities and institutes. Through one year activities, the applicability of PASCAL for structural integrity assessments of domestic RPVs was confirmed with great confidence. This paper presents the details of the verification activities of the working group.

Probabilistic fracture mechanics (PFM) is considered a promising methodology in assessing the integrity of structural components in nuclear power plants because it can rationally represent the influence parameters in their probabilistic distributions without over-conservativeness. In Japan, Japan Atomic Energy Agency has developed a PFM analysis code PASCAL4 (PFM Analysis of Structural Components in Aging LWRs Version 4) which enables the probabilistic integrity assessment of reactor pressure vessels (RPVs) considering neutron irradiation embrittlement and pressurized thermal shock events. Several efforts have been made to verify PASCAL4 to ensure that this code can provide reliable analysis results. In particular, a Japanese working group, which consists of different participants from the industry and from universities and institutes, has been established to conduct the verification studies. This paper summarizes verification activities of the working group in the past two years. Based on those verification activities, the reliability and applicability of PASCAL4 for structural integrity assessments of Japanese RPVs have been confirmed with great confidence.

Probabilistic fracture mechanics (PFM) is considered as a promising methodology in the integrity assessment of structural components in a nuclear power plant since it can rationally represent the influence parameters in their inherent probabilistic distributions without over-conservativeness. In Japan, a PFM analysis code called PASCAL4 (PFM Analysis of Structural Components in Aging LWRs Version 4) has been developed by Japan Atomic Energy Agency, which can be used for structural integrity assessments of reactor pressure vessels (RPVs) considering neutron irradiation embrittlement and pressurized thermal shock events. Up till now, many efforts have been made on verifying the PASCAL4 code. Among them, a Japanese working group which is consisted of seven participants from industries, universities and institutes was established to conduct the verification studies. Based on verification activities during the past two years, the reliability and applicability of PASCAL4 for structural integrity assessments of Japanese RPVs were confirmed with great confidence. This paper summarizes the verification activities in this working group including the verification plan, analysis conditions and results.

日本原子力研究開発機構では、原子炉圧力容器(RPV)の構造健全性評価手法の高度化を目的に、中性子照射脆化を考慮して、加圧熱衝撃等の過渡事象が発生した場合のRPVの破損確率や破損頻度を評価する確率論的破壊力学解析コードPASCALを開発し、最新知見に基づきその機能の高度化を進めてきた。RPVの構造健全性評価において確率論的手法の活用が期待される中で、RPVの健全性評価に係る取組みを促進するためには、PASCALの確率変数、評価機能、評価モデル等を含めた機能検証を行い、その検証過程を整理するとともに、検証結果を取りまとめておくことが必要不可欠である。こうした背景を踏まえ、開発機関以外の当該分野に関する専門家の下で、PASCALの確率論的破壊力学ソルバーであるPASCAL3をソースコードレベルで機能検証することにより、本コードの信頼性を向上させることを目的として、PASCAL信頼性向上WGを設立した。一年の活動を通じて、PASCAL3が十分な信頼性を有することが確認された。本報は、PASCAL信頼性向上WGの平成27年度における活動内容及び活動結果についてまとめたものである。

鋳造ステンレス鋼に対する非破壊検査が計画されているが、鋳造ステンレス鋼のような二相ステンレス鋼では、超音波の低い透過性などの理由から、許容欠陥寸法が定められていない。鋳造ステンレス鋼の許容欠陥寸法を合理的に決定するためには、確率論的破壊力学(PFM)は有用である。本研究では、鋳造ステンレス鋼配管を対象に、PFM解析コードの適用性や信頼性に係るベンチマーク問題を提案した。破損モードとしては、疲労亀裂進展、塑性崩壊、及び延性亀裂進展を考慮し、それらの相互作用を考慮した条件でPFM解析を行った。6機関が参加して実施されたベンチマーク解析による破損確率の比較を行った。その結果、各機関で様々なPFM解析コードで得られた破損確率はよく一致し、鋳造ステンレス鋼配管に対するPFMの適用性が確認された。
