16-09: Hope Creek Circulating 144-inch Water Pipeline Carbon Fiber Environmental ImpactRecently Hope Creek Nuclear Station identified seven distressed segments of its 144 inch circulating water pipeline in need of repair. Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), a trenchless structural repair system, was selected to strengthen the pre stressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP). The PCCP lines at Hope Creek are the backbone of the circulating water system. CFRP is a repair material used to provide targeted structural upgrades within
