IRRADIATION EFFECTS ON REACTOR STRUCTURAL MATERIALS. QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT 1 AUGUST 1967 - 31 OCTOBER 1967.
Abstract
The research program of the NRL Metallurgy Division, Reactor Materials Branch, is devoted to the determination of the effects of nuclear radiation upon the properties of structural materials. The overall program is sponsored by the Office of Naval Research, the Naval Ship Systems Command, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, and the Army Nuclear Power Program. Since research findings which apply to the objectives of one sponsoring agency are also of interest to the others, the overall program progress is reported herein. This report, covering research for the period 1 August 1967 - 31 October 1967 includes the following: (1) an evaluation of sulfur and phosphorus content as radiation embrittlement sensitivity variables in A302-B steel, (2) the radiation embrittlement of 12Ni-5Cr-3Mo maraging steel and companion weld metal at 250 deg F and at elevated temperatures, (3) the radiation embrittlement resistance of LaCrosse Reactor pressure vessel plate and test weldment, (4) an evaluation of irradiated Big Rock Point Reactor surveillance materials, (5) the notch ductility characteristics of service-irradiated, PM-2A reactor pressure vessel steel, and (6) the installation and calibration of a new, remotely operated Charpy-V impact machine.
