Irradiation of light water reactor materials in BR2

Description

Construction materials of light water reactors, in particular the reactor pressure vessel steel and internal core components, need adequate in-pile testing to validate modelling codes and to confirm predicted lifetime behaviour or to prove the good behaviour of these materials for extend life service. The objectives of SCK-CEN's research in this domain are to perform neutron irradiation of LWR materials in the BR2 reactor under relevant operating and monitoring conditions as specified by the experimenter's requirements. The main achievements in 2003 with respect to the TANGO, RADAMO and MIRAGE projects are presented
