Influence of the neutron flux density on the radiation embrittlement of vvér-440/213 vessel materials
2004
In work on minisamples of the fifth complex of the No. 3 unit of the Kola nuclear power plant it is shown that for neutron fluence 4·10 23 m -2 (operation for approximately 10 yr), neutron flux density 3·10 15 sec -1 ·m -2 and copper content 0.03% and 0.09% in the metal the shifts of the cold-brittleness temperature are 50 and 120°C, respectively. Under the same irradiation conditions but with neutron flux density 3·10 16 sec -1 ·m -2 , this shift for standard samples is 50°C. These results attest to the state of the vessel material at a given moment in time.
