Abstract
Features of design, technological solutions, welding defects and their influence on generation of the stressed-strained states in load-carrying structures of water-water power reactors are considered. Given are the results of experimental and design analysis of the fields of stresses which induce various limit states during the regular and emergency operation of NPP. Interaction of the academic, research, design, technological organisations and branch research institutes in solving the problems of strength and life of welded joints, is shown.
Keywords: strength, reactor, life, welded joints
