This paper discusses the results of a survey of fatigue monitoring methods developed by the nuclear industry. The paper is based on a comprehensive review of the technical literature related to the transients causing fatigue damage, the sites susceptible to such damage, approaches developed for monitoring the transients, and the monitoring systems developed for field applications. The purpose of the paper is to describe the monitoring techniques that have been developed and applied by industry; it does not deal with regulatory positions with respect to fatigue nor the acceptance of these techniques by the NRC. |
