Publication InformationManuscript Completed: November 2006 Prepared by Oak Ridge National Laboratory H.L. Graves, III, NRC Project Manager Prepared for AbstractThe objective of this study was to provide a primer on the environmental effects that can affect the durability of nuclear power plant concrete structures. As concrete ages, changes in its properties will occur as a result of continuing microstructural changes
(i.e., slow hydration, crystallization of amorphous constituents, and reactions between cement paste and
aggregates), as well as environmental influences. These changes do not have to be detrimental to the |
