The Electric Power Research Institute proposes to develop a Modular In-Chamber Electron Beam Welding approach that can be used to join large-diameter, thick-section components such as reactor vessels, steam generators, and pressurizers. Using this approach, components welds up to 10 feet in diameter can potentially be completed in less than 90 minutes, compared to several weeks with conventional welding technologies.
