R5 and R6 Newsletter, No. 55, June 2023

Issued by the R5 and R6 Panels

This newsletter has historically been produced on a biannual basis to keep users informed of current developments in the R5 and R6 procedures.

However, as a result of personnel changes within EDF Energy over the past few years, this is the first newsletter to be issued since No. 54 in June 2017.

This latest issue contains articles on: the Structural Integrity Assessment Procedures (SIAP) collaboration that oversees maintenance of the R5 and R6 procedures, including brief introductions to current SIAP members; the current R5 and R6 Panel membership; the current status of the R5 and R6 procedures; the sales process for the R5 and R6 procedures; and information about an R6 Introduction Course that will be run by John Sharples and Peter James of Jacobs Clean Energy and organised through the UK Forum for Engineering Structural Energy.

We hope you have found this newsletter interesting and useful.

If you have any queries arising from the articles, or about other applications of R5 or R6, please let us know. Articles relevant to R5 and R6, for possible publication in this newsletter, are also welcome.
