Irradiation experiments of low copper A533B steels for reactor pressure vessel tested in JMTR

Abstract

Irradiation embrittlement of A533B steels with low copper contents was investigated from the point of dose rate and irradiation temperature effects. Changes of neutron flux in the range from {approx}10{sup 12} to {approx}10{sup 13} n/cm{sup 2}/s (E>1 MeV) did not have a significant effect on the embrittlement. Irradiation temperature change of 1degC resulted in the transition temperature shift ({Delta}T{sub 41J}) of about 1degC and yield stress change ({Delta}{sigma}{sub y}) of about 0.8MPa. Factors that might affect the embrittlement of low copper steels are also discussed. (author).
