Techniques in detect selective leaching in metal components by Maritza Rodríguez Gual, Bruno Lopes Vieira, Rennan Souza da Silva

“…Selective leaching can significantly affect the long-term operation (LTO) of a nuclear power plant (NPP) by compromising safety, structural integrity, and potentially leading to radioactive material release. Due to the fact, Selective Leaching Detection Program is a requirement of the current national regulatory authority, there is a need to know the techniques for early detection of defects and failures in Structures, Systems and Components (SSCs) due to selective leaching, enabling immediate corrections and minimizing resources and replacements.  …”
