What's new for the creep analyses in the next 2022 RCC-MRx edition
Résumé
The 2022 edition of the RCC-MRx code [1] has been the occasion to improve or complete the rules dedicated to creep analyses. Even if the rules have their background on the last century, and if there is much less projects in the nuclear field reaching high temperatures compared to PWR perspectives, improvement of existing creep analyses rules and data are always in mind of the standard development organizations. It appears notably in creep-fatigue rules modifications implemented in the 2022 edition.
This article will present the last initiatives that were taken for creep in the frame of the RCC-MRx code.
