Irradiation Effects on Reactor Structural Materials.

Abstract

The report, covering research for the period 1 November 1970-31 January 1971, includes: (1) an analysis of the comparative results of various reactor physics codes for predicting the neutron spectrum in a simulated pressure vessel, (2) the fracture resistance of irradiated A533-B steel plate and weld metal as defined by shelf level in dynamic notched impact tests, and (3) results suggesting possible mechanisms of loop growth during damage recovery in vanadium.
