IRRADIATION EFFECTS ON REACTOR STRUCTURAL MATERIALS.
Abstract
The report covers research for the period 1 November 1969-31 January 1970, includes: (1) demonstration of improved radiation embrittlement resistance in commercial scale melt of Type A533-B pressure vessel steel, (2) an outline of the effects of fast reactor environment on selected structural and cladding alloys, (3) correlation of dynamic tear, Charpy-V, and drop-weight results from irradiation in a power reactor, (4) neutron exposure of Army SM-1 reactor vessel and related embrittlement projections, (5) initial results of examining radiation sensitive steels by transmission electron microscopy, and (6) description of a newly developed automated system for fatigue crack propagation studies on irradiated metals.
