Abstract

Innovative and novel applications of CMCs are critical to the success of GenIV: Next Generation Nuclear Power (NGNP) plants. Regularity requirements (e.g., Nuclear Regulatory Commission) demand the implementation of test standards, design codes and data bases for CMCs as part of the licensing and approval of this new power plants. Significant progress on standards, codes and databases for heat engine and aero applications has been made since 1991, however new requirements (e.g., durability in extreme temperature and irradiation environments) for CMC applications in NGNP require additional efforts. The current (2006) state of standards, design codes and databases for CMCs is reviewed and discussed. Issues related to development, verification and use of new standards, design codes, and database NGNP applications, including international aspects, are presented and discussed.
