Irradiation creep in the absence of swelling

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4151164
In-reactor creep of helium-pressurized 20 percent cold-worked Type 316 stain steel tubes was investigated at 375 to 575$sup 0$C. The creep strain was found to be in excess of the thermal creep of unirradiated specimens and the strain rate increased both with temperature and neutron fluence. These results are not clearly predicted by contemporary theories of creep during neutron irradiation. (auth)
