X-ray tubes are used in a broad variety of technical applications the classical application certainly is the radiographic inspection. For the penetration of high-Z materials, relatively high power is required. This lead to the development of X-ray tubes for laboratory and field use of voltages up to 450 kV and cp power up to 4,5 kW. Because of design, performance and reliability reasons, most of these maximum power stationary anode tubes are today made in metal-ceramic technology. 

The objeetive of seale-up in reaetor design is to determine a eri-terion or eriteria on whieh to base the transfer of the laboratory seale into a full-seale eommereial unit. Before proeeeding from a laboratory to an industrial seale, additional investigations are required. However, it is diffieult to define these additional steps to gather all the information as promptly as possibe and at minimum eost. The mediodology of proeess development leading to seale-up beeomes die prineipal faetor for die sueeess of die operation. In aehieving diis purpose, experiments are elassified into diree main types laboratory, pilot plant, and demonstration units. 

The Atomic Energy Commission designated Argonne National Laboratory as the first national lab-oratoi-y on July 1, 1946. Ai-gonne was the lead labora-toiy for nuclear reactors, instrumental in designing and building the first nuclear powered submarine, the USS Nautilus in 19.54, and the first nuclear reactor that completely powered the town of Arco, Idaho, m 1955. 

Higher than design strain rates in service (> lO s ) can also cause disruption of the corrosion scale, leading to enhanced metal loss and corrosion-assisted cracking of the substrate "". Laboratory exposures show parabolic... 

Pressurised water nuclear reactors require metals that will have a high degree of corrosion resistance to pure water at around 300°C. Laboratory testing of materials for this application have included potentiostatic polarisation experiments designed to clarify the active-passive behaviour of alloys as well as to establish corrosion rates. Since pressure vessels are used for this work, it is necessary to provide sealed insulated leads through the autoclave head .
