reactor safety studies
From a document analysing the effect of various transients on the reactor.
Les tailles de brèche en branche chaude correspondant à 20 cm² et 5 cm² ont été identifiées comme étant représentatives de sollicitations thermohydrauliques pénalisantes vis-à-vis du **choc froid pressurisé**.
Can any engineers out there tell me whether there is a specific way of expressing this in English? Anything along the lines of "cold shock" just seems to come up with medical connotations, rather than in an engineering sense.
Many thanks

pressurised thermal shock
Not my field, but plenty of Ghits in nuclear context.

Comment: "Many thanks to you all for your input. Sorry I've taken so long to close this question, but I checked back with the client in the end and they confirmed that "pressurised cold thermal shock" is what they would use."

high-pressure low-temperature shock
I take it this refers to the effect of sudden cold on the metal, not the effect of an IMPACT on metal while it is cold.

Not intended to be such high confidence by the way, though "low-temp shock" does get relevant ghits.
