“…In addition, the validity of the data suggesting the deep radiation-embrittlement minimum at 9%Cr presented in [59] has been recently questioned [153], on the basis of the proven inadequacy of Charpy tests to predict the shift of the ductile-brittle transition temperature under irradiation in ferritic/martensitic steels. According to this argument, Charpy tests would understimate the actual shift when martensite is in the microstructure; as a consequence, the deep minimum should be interpreted in the best case as a shallow minimum [153], thereby providing a better correlation with hardening data, that suggest a plateau instead [48,52,60,61]. If, therefore, we stick to radiation-hardening data, based on the current qualitative understanding of radiation effects in FeCr presented and discussed in the present paper, as well as on experimental indications from the literature on the Cr dependence of the proportion of ½\111[ and \100[ dislocation population under irradiation [54,55,154], a simplified, mechanistic approach can be proposed, whereby the radiation-hardening, Dr y , would be the result of the composition of different contributions: …”
