Microstructural Characterization of Reactor Pressure Vessel Steels

Microstructural Characterization of Reactor Pressure Vessel Steels

Ion irradiation is a promising tool to emulate neutron-irradiation effects on reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels, especially in the situation of limited availability of suitable neutron-irradiated material. This approach requires the consideration of ion-neutron transferability issues, which are a...
