| Abstract: | An experimental study of advanced acoustic emission monitoring of BWR components is being performed at Philadelphia Electric Company's Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station. The study addresses the feasibility of using continuous acoustic emission monitoring for increasing availability of LWR power units. Here we present a summary of a “Valve Surveillance” program and we describe the installation and performance of AE instrumentation for the “Pipe Surveillance” program. |
