description •The SIFs of the corner cracks are provided under accidental conditions of the PWR.•The material’s embrittlement due to nuclear environment is presented.•The critical crack depth at the nozzle-cylinder intersection is determined. In this study, fracture mechanics analysis of the set-in nozzle of a reactor pressure vessel (RPV) is being presented. The selected RPV belongs to a 300MW pressurized water reactor (PWR). For the purpose, a wide range of elliptical surface cracks was analyzed at the nozzle-cylinder intersection under two accidental conditions of the reactor: small-break loss of coolant accident (SB-LOCA), and Rancho-Seco transient (RST). It has been demonstrated that at the location being investigated ‘a=0.05t’ is the critical crack depth; where ‘a’ is the depth/minor axis of the crack and ‘t’ is the thickness of the wall.
