Journal Article · Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1981 · Annu. Book ASTM Stand.; (United States)

OSTI ID:5553847

The recommended practice covers procedures for determining and reporting the neutron flux density and fluence for the correlation of radiation-induced changes in nuclear graphites. The purpose of the recommended practice is to achieve better correlation and interpretation of new data in the field of radiation effects testing of specimens of graphites to be used for moderator or reflector components of fission reactors. Excluded are graphite test specimens containing fissionable materials and specimens containing materials having high neutron cross sections. The practice includes a discussion of significance, exposure unit for graphite irradiations, reporting, precision, and accuracy. (JMT)
