NEI 03-08 & Materials Degradation Management Programs

The nuclear industry's Materials Initiative NEI 03-08, developed in response to instances of materials degradation in nuclear plants, requires a Materials Degradation Management Program at all PWR and BWR units, in addition to INPO audit of these programs. This new SI Webinar discusses NEI 03-08, INPO audits, and the potentially costly implications for the industry. The Webinar will also describe how SI can support nuclear plants in Materials Degradation Management Program development, implementation, third-party reviews, utility training, preparation for INPO audits, and related services.

Tim Griesbach has a BS and MS in Materials Engineering from Case Western Reserve University, and over 30 years of experience in materials behavior and structural integrity of major nuclear components. His specialty is technical consulting utilizing state-of-the-art technologies for mitigating and resolving material degradation concerns in nuclear reactor vessels, internals, piping, and other major components. Griesbach has led numerous EPRI® projects to develop tools for managing such aging effects as fatigue and reactor vessel embrittlement in nuclear pressure vessels, and he has worked with utilities, NEI, and NRC to resolve such critical industry issues as pressurized thermal shock in PWRs.
