Book Investigation of Neutron Irradiated Soviet type Reactor Pressure Vessel Steels by Small Angle Neutron Scattering

Download or read book Investigation of Neutron Irradiated Soviet type Reactor Pressure Vessel Steels by Small Angle Neutron Scattering written by G. Brauer and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reactor pressure vessel steels of the Soviet-type 15Kh2MFA (Cr-Mo-V steels) are used in the VVER-440 type reactors, whereas steels of the Soviet type 15Kh2NMFA (Ni-Cr-Mo-V steels) are used in the WER-1000 type reactors. Eleven different materials, i.e. seven base metals and two weld metals of the type 15Kh2MFA, as well as one base metal and one weld metal of the type 15Kh2NMFA were available for the investigations. The small angle neutron scattering technique using the SANS-2 facility at the FRG-1 reactor in Geesthacht was employed to study the radiation-induced defect microstructure in the as-irradiated materials. The results are discussed in terms of the influence of different impurity contents and irradiation conditions on the defect microstructure.

Book Evolution of the Microstructure of PWR Pressure Vessel Steels from the CHOOZ A Reactor Surveillance Program After Long Term Irradiations

Download or read book Evolution of the Microstructure of PWR Pressure Vessel Steels from the CHOOZ A Reactor Surveillance Program After Long Term Irradiations written by J. Bourgoin and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have studied the microstructural evolution of a pressure vessel steel (C shell base metal) irradiated in CHOOZ A reactor surveillance capsules. This material has been irradiated at 265°C with fluences ranging from 2.2 x 1019 to 14 x 1019 n • cm-2 (E > 1 MeV); the longest irradiation has lasted about 13 years. The maximum ?RTNDT measured is 145°C for a fluence of 9 x 1019 n • cm-2 (E > 1 MeV). The microstructural studies have been carried out by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and small angle neutron scattering (SANS).

Book Structural Characterization of Nanoscale Intermetallic Precipitates in Highly Neutron Irradiated Reactor Pressure Vessel Steels

Download or read book Structural Characterization of Nanoscale Intermetallic Precipitates in Highly Neutron Irradiated Reactor Pressure Vessel Steels written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here, massive, thick-walled pressure vessels are permanent nuclear reactor structures that are exposed to a damaging flux of neutrons from the adjacent core. The neutrons cause embrittlement of the vessel steel that increases with dose (fluence or service time), as manifested by an increasing temperature transition from ductile-to-brittle fracture. Moreover, extending reactor life requires demonstrating that large safety margins against brittle fracture are maintained at the higher neutron fluence associated with 60 to 80 years of service. Here synchrotron-based x-ray diffraction and small angle x-ray scattering measurements are used to characterize a new class of highly embrittling nm-scale Mn-Ni-Si precipitates that develop in the irradiated steels at high fluence. Furthermore, these precipitates can lead to severe embrittlement that is not accounted for in current regulatory models. Application of the complementarity techniques has, for the very first time, successfully characterized the crystal structures of the nanoprecipitates, while also yielding self-consistent compositions, volume fractions and size distributions.

Book Microstructural and Mechanical Characterization of Radiation Effects in Model Reactor Pressure Vessel Steels

Download or read book Microstructural and Mechanical Characterization of Radiation Effects in Model Reactor Pressure Vessel Steels written by H-W Viehrig and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents results of radiation-induced nanoscale microstructural changes measured by Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) on ASTM-type reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels. Five different base metals and one weld metal were investigated. The irradiation was performed in a VVER-type power reactor to three different dose levels, maximally 0.14 dpa, at an irradiation temperature of 255°C. The volume content of the micostructural features measured is correlated with the irradiation hardening and embrittlement.
