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.
We deeply thank to all speakers, committee members and participants for their strong supports
