LPI is performing work with EPRI, the DOE, and Constellation Energy Nuclear Group (CENG) on the long term performance of containment structures. This work was presented at the “Second Workshop on U.S. Nuclear Power Plant Life Extension Research and Development” jointly sponsored by the NRC, DOE, and NEI. The presentation is attached. This work is providing real-time monitoring on the containment at Ginna to provide a foundation for a Containment Inspection Guide to support operation beyond 60 years. The Containment Inspection Guide will be prepared later in 2011.
LPI has previously performed work on concrete degradation in support of nuclear plant operation. This has included the removal of cores from spent fuel pools and the prediction of the life of structures.
LPI recently used a motion amplification camera (MAC) system on a custom platform to measure vibrations on the main steam lines at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station.
The Importance of Area in Probabilistic Degradation Models
Come visit LPI at the CLM Midwest Conference in Chicago! LPI, Inc. will have a table top exhibit at the CLM Midwest Conference in Chicago, IL June 14th-15th 2018. We invite you to stop by our table top booth to talk with Dr. Zuhair Ibrahim to learn ab
Erosion–corrosion is a complex material degradation mechanism involving mechanical erosion and electrochemical corrosion.
LPI partners with Argonne to support nuclear power plant operations
At LPI, we use a variety of such programs to tackle a diverse group of client projects that may involve failure investigations, anomalous operational conditions, or new design.
LPI's reputation for providing reliable fitness-for-service skills to clients is well known. Perhaps less well known, however, but equally a core service it offers to clients, is LPI's ability to enter a product's design cycle early on and provide expert
