BIoGEORGE™
Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is an ever-present threat to nuclear plant service water systems, particularly standby and redundant systems — some safety-related — in wet layup for extended periods of time. Fortunately, the on-line, real-time BIoGEORGE™ monitoring system can provide early warning of biofilms before these rapidly forming films can get a toe-hold. BIoGEORGE also provides a reliable indication of the effectiveness of biocide treatments, plus feedback on biocide treatment selection, timing, and concentrations. BIoGEORGE is available from SI under EPRI® license.

FatiguePro™
Metal fatigue from cyclic stresses can shorten the life of critical nuclear plant components, but FatiguePro™, a real-time fatigue monitoring software system developed by Structural Integrity Associates, Inc. (SI) for EPRI®, automatically tracks fatigue usage and transients in these key components, using existing plant instrumentation. FatiguePro facilitates plant life extension/license activities by providing an immediate, up-to-date and continual assessment of fatigue usage in all critical vessels and piping. As a result, this Microsoft® Windows®-based, EPRI®-licensed software is used in more nuclear plants worldwide than any comparable system. FatiguePro is available from SI under EPRI license.

WinPRAISE™
Probabilistic fracture mechanics analyses of nuclear reactor vessels and piping can be expedited with WinPRAISE™, originally developed for the U.S. NRC. The latest version of the software can analyze crack initiation and growth caused by fatigue, primary water stress corrosion, intergranular stress corrosion, and flow-accelerated corrosion. Microsoft® Windows®-based WinPRAISE can analyze multiple failure modes, including leaks, large leaks, and LOCAs, in a single computer run.
