摘要: Abstract The paper reviews and analyses the effects of gamma irradiation dose on properties ferritic steels used in reactor pressure vessels (RPVs). It explains factors that affect embrittlement a RPV steel induced by combinations fast neutrons, thermal irradiation. TAGSI were asked to consider vessels. endorsed use MCBEND code calculate fluxes energetic ray displacement cross-sections calculated using either Baumann or Alexander methods. calculation materials property changes due an additional trend curves based empirical correlation neutron-induced damage (where kγ∼1±0.25).
