  1. 1. Polymeric materials in nuclear power plants : Lifetime prediction, condition monitoring and simulation of ageing

    Författare :Erik Linde; Ulf Gedde; Mikael Hedenqvist; Sue Burnay; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : Nuclear power plants generate a significant part of the world’s electrical power consumption. However, many plants are nearing the end of their designed lifetime, and to extend the lifetime it is important to verify that every component can withstand the added service time. This includes polymeric materials, which become brittle with time. LÄS MER
