NEI 03-08 & Materials Degradation Management Programs
The Nuclear Energy Institute's Materials Initiative NEI 03-08, developed in response to events involving materials degradation in nuclear plants, requires a Materials Degradation Management Program at all PWR and BWR units, in addition to audit of these programs by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO). At a minimum, the programs must address BWR vessels/internals, Alloy 600 issues, reactor vessel integrity, PWR vessels/internals, boric acid corrosion control, steam generator management, primary and secondary system water chemistry, and fuel reliability. Any deviations from mandatory/needed program requirements require supporting documentation. Structural Integrity Associates, Inc. (SI) can support nuclear plants in Materials Degradation Management Program development, implementation, deviation requests, third-party reviews, utility training, preparation for INPO audits, and all related services.For information, please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
