摘要

Materials issues are a key concern for the existing nuclear reactor fleet as material degradation can lead to increased maintenance, increased downtime, and increased risk. E xtending reactor life to 60 y ears and beyond will likely increase susceptibility and severity of known forms of degradation. A dditionally, new mechanisms of materials degradation are also possible. A multitude of concrete-based structures are typically part of a light water reactor (LWR) plant to provide foundation, support, shielding, and containment functions. Concrete has been used in the construction of nuclear power plants (NPPs) because of three primary properties: its inexpensiveness, its structural strength, and its ability to shield radiation. With respect to the concrete structures, age-related degradation may affect engineering properties, structural resistance/capacity, failure mode, and location of failure initiation that in turn may affect the ability of a structure to withstand challenges in service. This paper examines the benefits of using time-frequency analysis with Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique (SAFT). SAFT is an image reconstruction technique commonly used in conjunction with ultrasonic arrays. By using wavelet packet decomposition, the original ultrasound signals are decomposed into various frequency bands. Selected frequency bands are then reconstructed back into a time-series data set. This facilitates highly selective analysis of the signal's frequency content and can be visualized using the familiar and reliable SAFT image reconstruction algorithm. Additionally, this paper briefly examines the benefits of using the Total Focusing Method (TFM) as compared to SAFT.
