NEUTRON-EMBRITTLEMENT OF STEELS IN NUCLEAR PRESSURE VESSELS
Source abstract
Abstract
The paper reports Charpy impact test measurements of the fracture toughness of nuclear pressure vessel material subjected to various neutron fluences The results indicate that the weld material is the weakest part of this vessel, but it should maintain adequate strength to permit operation to the end of the design life.
