Our Case Studies Design of reactor pressure vessel and reactor internal components

Our client is developing a concept design for its nuclear reactor with specific requirements related to road transport limits of its key components. Therefore the size of a number of components in the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) body and reactor vessel internals (RVIs) was required to be confirmed using stress analyses to ensure that the overall assembly remains within road transport limits. The design and construction code for the RPV and RVIs was ASME III.
