Graphite materials are used as core components in the High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) and Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR). The authors prepared technical documents for design, material, products, in-service inspection and maintenance of the graphite components for the HTGR/ VHTR, which were summarized as a draft of standard for the graphite components through discussion made in a ''Special committee on research on preparation for codes for graphite components in HTGR'' set up within AESJ. The draft of standard contains graphical expressions for the irradiated material properties of IG-110 graphite. It is possible to use the graphical expressions for the components design of VHTR. The graphs were obtained based on the interpolation and extrapolation of the irradiation data. The irradiation-induced dimensional change of IG-110 graphite was obtained through the interpolation and extrapolation of the irradiation data with a quadratic equation of fast neutron fluence. The irradiation data for H-451 and ATR-2E graphites were used for the evaluation of the interpolation and extrapolation of irradiation data for IG-110. It was shown in this study that the proposed interpolation and extrapolation method is reasonable for IG-110 with regard to the database available at present.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
