Irradiation Effects on Reactor Structural Materials.
Abstract
The research program involves a broad study of the effects of nuclear radiation upon materials. The report, covering research for the period 1 February - 30 April 1972, includes: (1) electron microscopy observations of radiation damage in pressure vessel steels and iron alloys, (2) the effect of neutron irradiation on fatigue crack propagation in austenitic stainless steel at high temperature, (3) a study of radiation reduction in notch toughness of stainless steel submerged arc weldments, (4) the effect of cyclotron-injected helium on the fatigue properties of 316 stainless steel, and (5) preliminary results from an environmental exposure of fandidate CTR first-wall structural alloys.
