“…For example, the uptake of hydrogen and an enhanced susceptibility for embrittlement were proved for irradiated steels with austenitic claddings under RPV conditions [4]. Splichal et al [4,5], Brinkman and Beston [6] and Takaku et al [7,8] specified critical hydrogen concentrations of P2.5-4 wt ppm for degradation of the mechanical properties both in the unirradiated and the irradiated condition. Kimura et al [9] proved that the critical hydrogen charging current density of neutron-irradiated martensitic steel was smaller than that of unirradiated one.…”
