The recently developed Controlled Biaxial Rate (CBSR) test system was used to perform constant temperature, constant diametral strain rate tests on fast reactor cladding. The CBSR test is analogous to conventional uniaxial tests; however, the CBSR stress state is more prototypic of in-reactor transient conditions. Results from CBSR testing of irradiated 20% cold worked Type 316 stainless steel cladding of Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) geometry are reported for specimens irradiated in the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II) at temperatures from 370 to 680/sup 0/C and fluences to 1.3 x 10/sup 23/ n/cm/sup 2/. Tests were performed at constant diametral strain rates between 10/sup -5//s and 10/sup -3//s at constant test temperature ranging from 400 to 700/sup 0/C.
