Report of Symposium
The PFM Subcommittee of Atomic Energy Research Committee of JWES has held International Symposium on Improvement of Nuclear Safety Using Probabilistic Fracture Mechanics on 24th October, 2014 at The Welding Hall in Akihabara, Japan.
In the symposium, the PFM subcommittee members have presented their recent achievements in research and development of PFM technology in Japan. In addition, some experts in industries have explained practical applications of PFM technology. Furthermore, Dr. Mark Kirk of US Nuclear Regulatory Committee has made a special invited lecture on Recent Status of Practical PFM Applications in USA. 59 participants from electric power industries, plant manufacturers, research institutes, universities and Japanese regulatory body attended the symposium and enjoyed fruitful discussions.
