This paper presents the cooperative work by PNC PNC and CRIEPI on the AE application to a creep-fatigue test of a Type 304 long elbow test assembly, that is, almost the 1/2-scale model of the primary coolant piping component of the proto-type FBR "MONJU". The creep-fatigue test was performed in air at 600C with the displacement-controlled in-plane bending load. AE characteristics, such as ring-down count rates, signal waveforms, peak-amplitude distributios and signal location patterns, were analysed in the process of the stationary creep-fatigue loading and the special loading for evaluating the effectiveness of AET to detect the piping detects.
