Abstract

The objective of this paper is to examine the possible forms of irradiation damage that may impact materials performance over an extended service period in light water nuclear reactors. This paper will explore the different forms of irradiation damage that may be of concern under extended operation. Radiation-induced segregation, precipitation, hardening, embrittlement, and dimensional changes all will be discussed.
