Mechanical properties of irradiated fast breeder reactor cladding and ducts

Creators

Description

Austenitic stainless steels are being used for various core components in Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors. Twenty percent cold worked Type 316 stainless steel is being used for both fuel pin cladding and ducts in the Fast Flux Test Facility. Safe and reliable operation of breeder reactors requires a characterization of the effects of fast neutron irradiation and environment on the mechanical properties of the cladding and duct material. Nearly 1400 tests have been conducted on unirradiated and irradiated cladding and duct samples under conditions relevant to reactor operational and transient events. Six different types of tests conducted on cladding and duct samples are described and the effects of irradiation on the properties are discussed
