The authors conducted studies on vessel steel 15Kh2MFA and on two weld metals--steel 10KhMTF and an undesignated chromium-molybdenum steel--to determine their fracture properties under various neutron fluences and in corrosive coolant-simulating media consisting of distilled water and distilled water mixed with boric acid. The samples were irradiated in the VVR-M reactor of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. Comparative test evaluations are graphed and analyzed.
