The APAL project will hold an advanced workshop on “Procedures for integrity assessment of RPVs subjected to PTS loading” on 11 and 12 May 2023 both online and in person in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

APAL’s main goal is to formulate a best-practice guidance for deterministic and probabilistic reactor pressure vessel (RPV) integrity assessment considering improved methodologies and also recommendations for the assessment of long-term operation (LTO) improvements, in which advanced methods assessed in the project (both deterministic and probabilistic) are described.

The workshop is thus dedicated to advanced methods for weld residual stress (WRS), warm pre-stress (WPS), thermal-hydraulic (TH) analysis, probabilistic analysis and LTO improvements on pressurized thermal shock (PTS).
