Evaluation of IAEA coordinated program steels and welds for 288 deg C radiation embrittlement resistance

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5046065
Eight steel materials supplied by the Federal Republic of Germany, France and Japan to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Program on 'Analysis of the Behavior of Advanced Reactor Pressure Vessel Steels Under Neutron Irradiation' were irradiated at 288C for assessments of relative notch ductility and dynamic fracture toughness change with approximately 2 x 10 to the 19th power n/sq cm, E >1 MeV. Notch ductility and fracture toughness were determined, respectively, by Charpy-V and fatigue precracked Charpy-V test methods. An A533-B steel plate (HSST 03) produced in the USA was included in the irradiation test series for reference.
