Description

Main results from the IAEA CRP, Phase III on Irradiation Embrittlement of RPV steels is presented.

Analysis of these effects in special melted steels as well as in commercially manufactured plates, forgings and weldments are presented. Comparison of embrittlement effects (transition temperature shifts) are compared with those predicted by US NRC Reg. Guide 1.99, French and German Codes and Rules. (author). Figs
