ASTM E-08 Committee has been developing a new standard, to deal with the fracture mechanics behavior of steels in the ductile to brittle transition region. This paper presents a comparison between the current approach and a new proposal to be used by the nuclear industry to face the problem of determining the behavior of ferritic steels. An emphasis will be given to the application of this proposal and its evaluation using a Brazilian A508 Class 3 nuclear steel.
