Fracture Toughness of Light-Water Reactor Pressure Vessel Materials: Progress Report Ending 28 Feb 75.

Abstract

The principal objectives are: (a) to characterize the dynamic fracture toughness of three heats of nuclear pressure vessel steel, namely, 6-in. A302-B plate, 8-in. A533-B Class 1 plate, and 9-in. A508 Class 2 forging; and (b) to develop techniques for the interpretation and analysis of notched, three-point bend specimens tested under impact loading.
