Research activities conducted by the Hanford Engineering Development Laboratory, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Rockwell International are reviewed concerning LWR pressure vessel surveillance dosimetry. Topics discussed include: solid-state track recorder fission rate measurements at the PCA; embrittlement of compression specimens irradiated in the SSC-1 and SSC-2 capsules of the PSF experiment; nondestructive determination of reactor pressure vessel neutron exposure; characterization of gamma-ray spectra and energy deposition in LWR pressure vessels; calculated activities and spectral fluences for the PSF two-year irradiation experiment; power distribution calculations for the VENUS PWR mockup; SDMF irradiation experiment; Charpy test results in the ORR-PSF metallurgical irradiation experiment; and application of helium fluence monitors to LWS surveillance.
