Description

As Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) internals are expected to experience high damage doses exceeding 100 dpa by the end of the second license renewal, there is a need for data and validated models to predict the degree of irradiation damage expected in these internals. Test reactor irradiations are impractical because the damage rate is comparable to that in commercial reactors. The only practical means of obtaining irradiated microstructures at high dpa (>25 dpa) in a short amount of time (
