THIS LECTURE IS FREE AND OPEN TO ALL
Overview
Assuring structural integrity of industrial pressure systems
The lecture will show how the public can have confidence in the safety and structural integrity of our nuclear plant and oil and gas installations. It will outline the development of methods supported by small and large scale structural testing over the last 20 years to show that hazardous and safety critical fluids can be kept under pressure for long periods without loss of containment. The launch of the £100M National Structural Integrity Research Centre near Cambridge is a collaboration between industry and universities that will be taking the next step on this journey.
