“…For example, in the 1980s in the US, Regulatory concerns arose, with the emergence of pressurised thermal shock issue, over the requirement for improved methodologies for more precise fluence and flux determinations. This led the USNRC to establish a co-operative programme that included validation of experimental and analytical methods of fluence determination in LWR surveillance programmes [32]. ASTM in the USA took the lead in developing standards relating to LWR surveillance, including the development of dosimetry standards [33].…”

The purpose of this paper is to review the lessons learnt on the use of advanced materials on the design and operation of components in fission reactors and to consider how these lessons can be employed to benefit the use of advanced structural and, to a certain extent, coolant channel materials in the design and qualification of the in-vessel and containment vessel components for the DEMO fusion reactor. The focus is on lessons learnt on methodologies that need to be applied, and a number of specific recommendations are made.

This paper considers ASTM Standards that are available, under revision, and are being considered in support of Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) and Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) licensing, regulation, operation, surveillance and life attainment. The current activities of ASTM Committee E10 and its Subcommittees E10.02 and E10.05 and their Task Groups (TG) are described. A very important aspect of these efforts is the preparation, revision, and balloting of standards identified in the ASTM E706 Standard on Master Matrix for Light Water Reactor (LWR) Pressure Vessel (PV) Surveillance Standards. The current version (E706-87) of the Master Matrix identifies 21 ASTM LWR physics-dosimetry-metallurgy standards for Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) and Support Structure (SS) surveillance programs, whereas, for the next revision 34 standards are identified. The need for national and interna tional coordination of Standards Technology Development, Transfer and Training (STDTT) is considered in this and other Symposium papers that address specific standards related physics-dosimetry-metallurgy issues.
