Weld Residual Stress Finite Element Analysis Validation

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is requesting public comment on a draft NUREG entitled, "Weld Residual Stress Finite Element Analysis Validation: Part II--Acceptance and Guidelines." This report proposes a methodology by which analysts can increase confidence in modeling capabilities for regulatory applications involving weld residual stress calculation. Specifically, the NRC staff posed four questions for consideration by the public (see SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).
