Peer Review Report

Peer review report 2 on ‘‘Numerical study of the applicability of the g-factor method to J-resistance curve determination of steam generator tubes using non-standard specimens’’ Original Submission Recommendation Major amendments required Comments to the author The reviewer congratulates the authors for presenting an excellent numerical simulation work for judging the applicability of g factor using non-standard specimens. The manuscript is nicely drafted, but there are a few instances of silly grammatical mistakes which needs to be corrected and suggestions regarding further improvement of the manuscript’s content are briefed in the attached file for achieving the required benchmark for conversion of this manuscript to a publication.
