Description
Summary:The initial design life of nuclear power plant is 40 years. In 60 year life extending license application, the fatigue of component should be evaluated under the influence of the fatigue factors of the pressurized water reactor coolant environment. Because the original design used a more conservative analysis method, the result could not meet the requirement of Cumulative usage fatigue factor of RCC-M. An optimizing analysis method is studied, and as an example of application, optimizing fatigue analysis of Safety Injection Nozzle of Main Coolant Line is performed. The evaluation results show that the optimized fatigue analysis results meet the requirements of RCC-M.
