Abstract:Reactor vessel internals (RVIs) consist of austenitic stainless steels (ASSs) which have excellent material properties. Meanwhile, the high radiation environment of a reactor can cause the degradation of components. Since changed material properties are important for long-term operation, experimental researches related to tensile and fracture properties had been conducted. However, it is limited to investigate these researches due to their high radioactivity and small quantity. Thus recent researches have been… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations 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.
