Master curve approach to monitor fracture toughness of reactor pressure vessels in nuclear power plants.

This publication provides information about the master curve approach for assessing the structural integrity of reactor pressure vessels (RPVs) under current and future operation and accident conditions in nuclear power plants (NPPs). This direct measurement of fracture toughness approach is technic...
