Irradiation performance of modified type 316 stainless steel for Monju fuel
- Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuels Development Corp., Ibaraki-ken (Japan)
Material development for prototype fast breeder reactor Monju application sought to improve the standard Type 316 stainless steel within the range of its specification. The main effort was devoted to improve creep rupture strength and swelling resistance. These improvements were essentially the control of minor elements such as phosphorus, boron, titanium, and niobium within a range of 0.1 wt%. Finally specified material has a typical composition of Fe-16 Cr-14 Ni-0.05 C-2.5 Mo-0.7 Si-0.025 P-0.004 B-0.1 Ti-0.1 Nb and is used in the 20% cold-worked (cw) condition. This material was designated as PNC316. Out-of-reactor creep rupture strength of the PNC316 was the highest among the austenitic stainless steels of this class, which is more than three times as much improvement in strength as the developmental cladding.
