Fracture behaviour of radiolytically oxidised reactor core graphites: a view
This paper provides a view on the fracture behaviour of polygranular graphites, used to moderate gas cooled nuclear reactors. Graphite is often cited as a classic example of a brittle material because failure, in tension, is associated with small strains. However, attempts to characterise the fractu...
