Abstract: Neutron irradiation embrittlement of reactor pressure vessel steels is an important aging issue for the long-term operation of light water reactors. A new embrittlement correlation method was ...

Abstract: The fracture toughness master curve shows the relationship between the median of fracture toughness and temperature in the ductile–brittle transition temperature region of ferritic steels such as ...

Abstract: Neutron irradiation embrittlement of reactor pressure vessel steels (RPVs) is one of the important material aging issues. In Japan, almost 40 years have past since the first plant started its ...
