Abstract
A joint project cluster of industry, VTT and other R&D
suppliers is dealing with managing of lifetime of
critical structures and components in energy and process
industry. The research topics include systematic
component lifetime management, data management, integrity
and lifetime of pressure bearing components,
non-destructive inspection, interactions of coolant and
materials, environmentally assisted cracking and ageing
of reactor internals.
This Symposium is a compilation of selected papers
describing an intermediate status of the projects after
three years of research and development.
