The ASME code cases N-629 and N-631 permits the use of a Master Curve-based index temperature (RTTo ≡ T0 + 19.4°C) as an alternative to traditional RTNDT-based methods of positioning the ASME KIc, and KIR curves. This approach was adopted to enable use of Master Curve technology without requiring the wholesale changes to the structure of the ASME Code that would be needed to use all aspects of Master Curve technology. For the brittle failure analysis considering irradiation embrittlement additionally a procedure to predict the adjustment of fracture toughness for EOL from irradiation surveillance results must be available as by NRC R.G. 1.99 Rev. 2 e.g.: ART = Initial RTNDT + ΔRTNDT + Margin. The conservatism of this procedure when RTNDT is replaced by RTTo is investigated for western nuclear grade pressure vessel steels and their welds. Based on a systematic evaluation of nearly 100 different irradiated material data sets, a simple relation between RTToirr, RTToref and ΔT41JRG is proposed. The relation makes use of the R.G. 1.99 Rev. 2 and enables the minimizing of margins, necessary for conventional correlations based on temperature shifts. As an example, the method is used to assess the RTTo as a function of fluence for several German pressure vessel steels and corresponding welds. It is shown that the method is robust and well suited for codification.

The article studies practical approaches of the Federal Republic of Germany to the implementation of post-conflict recovery, stabilization and development programs. Noted that Germany is actively pursuing unilateral and joint programs for global sustainable development or specialized programs in different parts of the world. This good performance became possible due to a new German methodological approach based on complex and flexible usage of diplomacy, development policy and security measures. The well build institutional system under coordination of the Federal Foreign Office and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development is able to fulfill difficult tasks successfully. This point is illustrated by practical experience of the German Agency for International Cooperation, the Reconstruction Loan Corporation and the German Civil Peace Service. The article concludes that Germany achieved significant results in post-conflict recovery, stabilization and development activities because of bringing together efforts of different actors.
