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 and cooperation.
