Ithasthen been established where practices areidentical Indetail ,where they
are similar and have the 9ame intent and where they differ significantly .It •
has ybeen found that inamajority ofcases ,thenational practices examined
areeither identical orshow similarity .However /asubstantial number of
points ofsignificant difference exist . -
3.1.2 .Future_grogramme
<, • ■* ' ''
Thepriority task isanevaluation andquantification ofthe points of
difference which have been disclosed .Evaluation necessitates discovering the
ba-sis for the differences asapplied tospecial LMFBR components and the
importance ofthe differences for various components and various conditions '
ofuse.The second task isto .extend thelist ofmanufacturing operations
which should beconsidered ..
The work' will include :
1.Alisting ofpractices which could beaccepted asequivalent ,together
with statements about the ranges ofconditions .andapplications within
.tlie equivalence could beaccepted . 1 »
2.Ashort -list ofdifferences in.practice 'which will require resolution .
3.Work tending toresolve the most significant differences .'

3.2.Structural Analysis and Design Calculations - '
^ 3.2.1 .Achievements \ ' -
Ithas been found that Member States donot have identified national (
Codes which have been developed specifically for LMFBR components .rIthas also
been found that there isagreement among experts ..that the field of
components operating atelevated temperatures presents that ofthegreatest
difficulty .This field has therefore been accorded priority inthe reported ,
investigations .Inthis field the only published set ofdesign rules is
contained inA.S.M.E. Code Case 1592^*/which isusedtoalimited extent in
Europe .However ,because many ofthe rules are questionable ,and some ofthe
procedures aredifficult toapply ,the code case isnowhere completely adopted ,
, ■' , , ■ tf
and issupp lemented orreplaced byother design methods and design criteria .
( ) • .. - " •The American Society for Mechanical Engineers <ASME )has developed a
design code forboilers andpressure vessels ,which permits the design and
calculation ofpressure vessels and circuits uptoA50°Ci The A5ME code
case 1592 proposes rules and methods toextend this code inthetemperature
region above 450°C ,which isaregion ofinterest forseveral components
for sodium cooled fast breeder reactors .

The problem facing the designer-owners and licensing authorities is
that ofdemonstrating theintegrity ofcomponents over their whole working
life,despite the time dependent degradation ofmaterial properties such
asthose tlue tothe high temperature .
3.2.2 .future^grogramme
1.Detailed information exchanges onproblems ,design methods and design
criteria .Topics fordetailed evaluation will beselected ,onacontinuing
basis andstatus reports issued^in addition tothe high temperature class
.1^*^components which have been themaintopic ofdiscussion sofar,future
considerations will include design rules forthe lowtemperature Class I**
components ,aswell asClass 2***andClass 3components **? ■
2.Computational investigations ,partly tocheck the adequacy ofthe various
programmes which are used ,andpartly toprovide .information inanumber
ofproblem areas .
3.Analysis ofprevious experience ofstructural performance ofcomponents
indemonstration plant and large sodium test loops ,toestablish the
adequacy with which proposed design procedures predicted integrity .
A.Pooling ofmaterials data from programmes ofwork carried out for specific
t
reactor projects .There is,inaddition ,need forjointly available
reference tests toestablish long term behaviour ,especially ofwelds .
3.3.Materials
3.3.1 .Achievements
Selection ofmaterial specifications forconstruction ofspecial LMFBR
components lies inafield particularly strongly influenced bynational ,
non-LMFBR experience . -
(*)Class Icomponents ;components which contain
large amounts ofhigh level radio-active materials .
Class IIcomponents :components preventing the consequences offailure
ofclass Icomponents orcontaining less important quantities ofradio­
active materials .
Class III components :components ,preventing the consequences offailure
ofclass IIcomponents orcontaining low level radio-active materials .
N.B. This isapreliminary compon|n?sJ&y al?ienCodes andStandards Working
Group -see also §3.4. ,

The task undertaken inthis field was toinvestigate how materials are
selected and/approved inCommunity Member States forspecific applications
and what range ofnominal materials isinpresent orprojected use for ,
Community LMFBRs .Nine different materials Were identified .One ofthe'se
materials ,Stainless Steel Type 316,was then selected for astudy ingreater
depth .Itwas found that nine different versions ofStainless Steel type 316
are inuse andthat these versions may have very different mechanical -
properties . _ ,.
Itisconsidered ^that broad specifications donot form a ■;
satisfactory basis from which toachieve the long range goals stated at
par.3(i)and (ii).
3.3.2 .Future programmes
sThe next phase ofthe work should betheidentification ofthfe informa­
tion comprising both mechanical properties and chemical composition which .
should bemade available sothat infuture itwould bepossible loJequ ]valence 0
materials compatibly with "the long range goals stated atpar.^3(i)"and (ii),
according tovarious .'limitations ofuse.This required information will / :
take into account the intended service conditions ,.-such ashigh temperature
orlowtemperature .- • _ ' :
This work wi11include :. ' .
1.Listing ofmaterials which could beacepted asequivalent forspecific
LMFBR components ,together with statements about the ranges ofconditions
and applications within which the equivalence could beaccepted . v>
2.Quantitative interpretation ofdifferences inpropertiesof the -various
■materials . . . '•
3.Quantitative comparison ofmaterial properties derived from various
testing techniques . /
4.Reference tests onselected materials and conditions .
3.4.Classification ofcomponents 'I'' -
This area ofwork ismentioned in .this proposal only for th*sake of,
completeness .Noprogramme ofwork involving Community funding isproposed .
Classification isthe method for making the measures taken toensure ,
that failure will beunlikely ,consistent with the consequences ofsuch failure .
