Assembly Operations Welding Filter(s) in Drum Calculation

This calculation documents the estimation of temperature and pressure rise inside a 55-gal TRU waste drum with a HEPA filter containing Titanium and Tantalum fume dust based on operational history. Actual Titanium values are believed to be less than 10g on any given filter. Actual Tantalum values are believed to be less than 1g on any given filter

Machine Learning for Automated Weld Quality Monitoring and Control (CRADA 461)

The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) methods may provide an alternative pathway to elicit the desired process-structure-property relationship. To achieve such relationship at an accelerated pace the use of data driven machine learning techniques are employed. This CRADA investigates the use and effectiveness of applying AI/ML techniques to a large dataset with the intention of creating a data-driven model that will predict processing parameters required to join lightweight materials at optimal performance.

Environmental creep-fatigue and weld creep cracking: a summary of design and fitness-for-service practices

This report surveys current creep-fatigue design and fitness-for-service assessment procedures, with a particular focus on environmental effects and creep-fatigue cracking near weldments. Included in this assessment are the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section III, Division 5, the British R5 standard, the French RCC-MRx design code, the ITER Structural Design Criteria, and the API-579/ASME FFS-1 fitness-for-service rules for petrochemical components. The focus of this review is to identify gaps in the available methods that could prevent regulators from evaluating future high temperature reactor designs. The report makes recommendations, where appropriate, on actions that could be taken to fill these gaps by either providing adequate assessment procedures for creep-fatigue damage in harsh environments or by evaluating strategies vendors could use to mitigate regulatory concerns with creep-fatigue damage in high temperature reactor components.
