Unusual solutions can also be found amongst Japanese offshore technology, where there is a sur- prisingly strong showing by “floating turbines”. Like many coastal countries, Japan is not as blessed with shallow coastal waters as the North Sea neighbours are. Toda Corporation and a further five consortium members have constructed a floating turbine based on the spar buoy concept. Marubeni Corporation has built the prototype of a semi-submersible.

  • Xa9949546 3. Reactor Pressure Vessel Materials
    Ill XA9949546 3. REACTOR PRESSURE VESSEL MATERIALS K. Suzuki, The Japan Steel Works, Ltd., Muroran Plant 1 INTRODUCTION The demands placed on reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels are severe. They must be manufactured in required sizes and thicknesses, be of sufficient strength and toughness, show little deterioration under irradiation, allow the production of high quality welds and be compatible with the cladding. This Chapter refers to non-WER pressure vessels, but many of the guiding principles described here apply to that particular case. Starting with carbon steel plates and forgings for conventional boiler drums in the dawn of commercial light water reactors (LWRs) followed by a few changes thereafter, SA533 and SA508 and similar grade steels have become well established [1]. Both grades are of the vacuum treated, quenched and tempered type of 600 N/mm2 strength class, which is not the highest level in weldable structural steels. - 71 - The specific requirements for RPV steels are to give, even to large- size component materials of RPVs, higher values of the following properties: - uniformity and isotropy of mechanical properties, including less mass effect in the mid-section - fracture toughness - internal defects - weldability - resistivity to neutron irradiation embrittlement Some further items were added during the past two decades primarily for the purpose of easier execution of non-destructive examinations both pre-service and in-service. These are: - fewer weld seams in RPV - larger and more integral design of component materials The requirements have been steadily realized. - 72 - With respect to the weld, improvements have been made by adequate selection of flux in combination with requirements on the chemical composition of the weld wire, welding parameters such as weld bead size and sequence to minimize the coarse grained areas in the heat affected zone (HAZ) [2].

The Japanese keiretsu have been described in similar terms, yet compared to business groups in other countries the postwar keiretsu warrant the “group” label least. The prewar progenitor of the keiretsu, the zaibatsu, however, could fairly be described as groups, and, in their relatively sharp boundaries, hierarchical structure, family control, and close ties to the state were structurally similar to business groups elsewhere in the world. With the break-up by the U. S. Occupation of the largest member firms, the purging of their executives, and the outlawing of the holding company structure that held them together, the zaibatsu were transformed into quite different business entities, what we and other literature call “network forms” of organization (Podolny and Page, 1998; Miyajima, 1994).
