Book excerpt: Annotation The role of aging and risk management in safe operation and life extension of nuclear power plants and petrochemical plants is explored in these papers from an August 2002 conference. Structural, mechanical, heat transfer, thermal, hydraulic, fatigue, fracture, and creep problems are addressed. Papers topics include generic aging management programs for license renewal of PWR reactor coolant system components, high-cycle analytical thermal fatigue test of pipe structures, managing aging of coatings for nuclear plant license renewal, and signal processing for lifetime management. Subjects examined in the category of reliability and safety include a logic model approach to conceptual design of scientific/industrial complexes, and risk-based maintenance. There is no subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
