Joint article on the 'Analysis of Magnetic Nondestructive Measurement Methods for Determination of the Degradation of Reactor Pressure Vessel Steel'

Nondestructive magnetic measurement methods can be successfully applied to determine the embrittlement of nuclear pressure vessel steel caused by neutron irradiation. It was found in previous works that reasonable correlation could be obtained between the nondestructively measured magnetic parameter...

European Symposium on Non-Destructive Evaluation for NPP a Success

The “European Symposium on Non-destructive Evaluation for NPP” – jointly organised by the European projects (H2020 Euratom) NOMAD and ADVISE – was held on 4-5 May 2021 in a virtual format.

This 2-day event brought together both projects, as well as a number of other initiatives. The symposium p...

New paper on 'Micromagnetic Characterization of Operation-Induced Damage in Charpy Specimens of RPV Steels' published

In this study, the NOMAD partners Fraunhofer, EK and SCK CEN, investigated the influence of neutron irradiation on the mechanical properties of nuclear pressure vessel materials using two independent methods of nondestructive magnetic testing. A correlation was found between magnetic character...
