View License Agreement Source: STP1270-EB Abstract Irradiation embrittlement of A533B steels with low copper contents were investigated from the point of dose rate and irradiation temperature effects. Change of neutron flux in the range from -1012 to -1013 n/cm2/s (E> 1MeV) did not have a significant effect on the embrittlement. Irradiation temperature change of 1°C resulted in the transition temperature shift (ΔT41J) of about 1°C and yield stress change (Δoy) of about 0.8MPa. Factors that might affect the embrittlement of low copper steels are also discussed.
