IRRADIATION EFFECTS ON REACTOR STRUCTURAL MATERIALS.

Abstract

The report, covering research for the period 1 May - 31 July 1969, includes the following: (1) irradiation response of A543 steel to different thermal/fast neutron fluxes, (2) mechanical property and neutron spectrum analyses of the Big Rock Point Reactor pressure vessel, (3) Charpy-V notch characteristics of irradiated A350-LF2 and A537-B weldments for prestressed concrete liner applications, (4) an analysis of fracture surface microstructure of radiation sensitive steels by scanning electron microscopy, (5) the initial assessment of 550F radiation embrittlement sensitivity of a special A533-B Class 1 electroslag weldment, and (6) mechanical properties assessments of thick section plates from low residual A533-B special heat.
