Ferritic and martensitic steels are finding increased application for structural components in several reactor systems. Low alloy steels have long been used for pressure vessels in light water fission reactors, martensitic stainless steels are finding increasing usage in liquid metal reactors and are being considered for fusion reactor applications when such systems become commercially viable. Recent evaluations of the applicability of oxide dispersion strengthened ferritic steels have been performed. Studies of the effects of irradiation on these steels provide several examples of contributions to broader areas of materials science and engineering. These include improvements in basic understanding of materials response to irradiation, small specimen test procedure development and alloy development. 56 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.
