IRRADIATION EFFECTS ON REACTOR STRUCTURAL MATERIALS.

Abstract

The report, covering research for the period 1 November 1966-31 January 1967, includes the following: (1) exerimental A302-B steel heats insensitive to 550F irradiation, (2) radiation embrittlement of steels under cyclic versus constant temperature exposure conditions, (3) effects of applied stress during irradiation on the notch ductility of A302-B steel, (4) tensile property changes through the wall thickness of a simulated reactor pressure vessel, (5) comparison of neutron flux values for fission versus threshold-type monitors, and (6) equipment and procedures developed for elevated temperature remote tension testing of radioactive specimens.
