The integrity of fatigue monitoring results is influenced by the input data stream, and the accurate accounting of continuity between time periods used for data capture and analysis. This paper discusses the treatment of continuity with respect to applied methods of evaluation used in fatigue monitoring. The items discussed here are applicable to various aspects of fatigue monitoring assessment, including the evaluation of reactor water environmental effects. Proper treatment of continuity in the evaluation processes is essential to the accuracy of any monitoring assessment.
