The effect of irradiation on En2 mild steel is determined using tensile and impact tests. A method, based on Cottrell's theory of brittle fracture for estimating the increase in notched impact transition temperature DELTA T with irradiation dose theta from tensile experiments, is described. The value of the constsnt DELTA T/ theta /sup 1//sup ///sup 3/ is calculated for four grain sizes o f En2 steel. The estimated values of DELTA T are in reasonable agreement with the experimental results from the notched impact tests. The value of this method of determining the sensitivity of steels to radiation embrittlement and the importance of grain size is emphasized. (auth)
