The effects of microstructure on strength and fracture resistance of nuclear graphite

Cracking from stress concentrations of the graphite neutron moderator, or keyway root cracking, is a potential limit for the lifetime of the UK Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors (AGR), and there is a need to better understand how damage occurs prior to fracture. Gilsocarbon graphite is a heterogeneous an...
