STEEL FOR PRESSURE VESSELS FOR POWER REACTORS (in German)
Both gas-cooled and water-cooled reactors place on the steel pressure vessel rigid requirements with respect to the design, radiation stability, gamma -induced internal stresses, and inability to, or difficulty in, repairing the vessel once it is installed. The factors to be considered in the selection of a given steel for a pressure vessel are reviewed, and the properties of steels previously used for this purpose are tabulated. The studies being raade at present to improve the desirable properties of steels for pressure vessels are briefly summarized. The corrosion stability and irradiation stability of steel are discussed. Neutron activation of the steel is also briefly reviewed. (J.S.R.)
