Even though nuclear power showed remarkable increase as an industrial energy source, recently, its demand has been slowed down by conservatism of nuclear power industry and market stagnation. Therefore, many researchers have so far investigated on improving and developing technologies to maximize the economical efficiency as well as safety maintenance of nuclear power plant using the destructive and nondestructive approaches. In particular, evaluation of mechanical characteristics of materials by aging degradation due to corrosion, creep, and fatigue is actively investigated. |
