Abstract

Experimental results are presented from a study of changes in the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature of VVER-440 base and weld metals under cyclic irradiation and recovery. The transition temperatures were determined from the results of subsize V-notch impact specimens measuring 5 by 5 by 27.5 mm. Specimen irradiation was carried out in a commercial reactor at a temperature of 270°C in three irradiation and recovery cycles. Annealing of specimens was performed at 340, 420 and 460°C. The shift in the transition temperature of subsize specimen data in the first irradiation cycle was compared to the transition temperature of subsize specimen data in the first irradiation cycle was compared to the transition temperature shift determined from tests using standard Charpy specimens.
