An important example is the treatment of integrity analyses for the primary reactor pressure vessel (RPV) when it is exposed to pressurized thermal-shock (PTS) events.
Rabbits exposed to pressurized oxygen for 90 min during 3 consecutive days presented a significant reduction in the edema area of the brain and cerebral necrosis [44].
For this purpose, normal RBC (nRBC) collected from a naïve mouse were exposed to pressurized oxygen (100% O2, 3 ATA) during 4 or 6 hours.
Finally, when we assessed the HBO effects on cerebral outcomes, we noticed a significant reduction in hypothermia (data not shown) and in the BBB breakdown (Figure 6) in mice exposed to pressurized oxygen.
Nuclear Power Plants are subjected to a variety of ageing mechanisms and, at the same time, exposed to potential Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) – characterized by a rapid cooling of the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) wall.
Nickel-based alloys 182, 600 and 52 were exposed to simulated Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) primary water (1000 ppm B, 2 ppm Li, O2 <10 ppb, 325 °C) under different dissolved hydrogen (DH) conditions [0, 2, 25 and 50 cm3 H2(STP) kg−1] for times up to 1 month in a recirculating autoclave.
As the thimble is a pressurized part exposed to an internal pressure of 100 bar, the demands for the material are high, which means that it requires the best available tungsten material.
The gemstone in question is called ringwoodite, which is created when olivine, a material that is extremely common in the mantle, is highly pressurized; when it's exposed to less pressurized environments, it reverts into olivine.

The influence of direct tension cracks on water tightness of the specimen is examined by exposing a major crack to pressurized water and evaluating the water leakage.
A test module having a multi-layer structure (W 1 mmt, Cu 5 mmt and a cavity containing water pressurized at 2.2 MPa) was exposed to DT (D T=2:1) plasma.
