RPVDATA database program

Several industry databases of surveillance test data have been maintained over the years. For example, during the 1990s EPRI maintained the Power Reactor Embrittlement Program (PREP) database (EPRI, 1996), which was developed under joint EPRI and CRIEPI (Central Research Institute of the Electric Power Industry) sponsorship. Later, EPRI sponsored the RPVDATA database program (EPRI, 2000) as a successor to PREP. The industry databases have faced greater sustainability issues than the NRC databases because of limited funding.
