The activities of the Nuclear Research Institute, Division of Integrity and Technical Engineering, can be divided into research and application contracts. Works fordomestic nuclear power plants and foreign companies represent a significant proportion of the overall activity. The traditional areas of the reactor pressure vessel integrity, primary and secondary component integrity are supplemented by non-destructive inspection, equipment qualification and valve diagnostics. The mainactivities of the division are related with ageing of components.
In the Department of Structural Properties and Corrosion of the Division, the experimental work is mainly focused to comply with the needs of nuclear power industry. In general, the tests are carried out at high temperature and high pressure in water environment. Corrosion studies in flowing liquid Pb-Bi and Pb are provided using corrosion convectional testing loops.
The program contains the basic corrosion study of the influence of parameters such as temperature, temperature gradient, oxygen concentration, flow rate and chemical composition of materials, together with the development and testing of oxygen sensors.
Post-test examinations by microscopy (SEM, LM, TEM) and analyses of chemical compositions of structural element and surfaces are a part of the laboratory works.
The laboratory’s customers are Czech and foreign (EPRI, VGB, EdF, EC).
