Abstract

This paper describes the analytical procedures that have been developed at Battelle-Northwest Laboratory (BNWL) and Westinghouse Advanced Reactors Division (ARD) to determine neutron fluence limits for certain components of the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF), namely the core barrel, core support structure, and the reactor vessel.

Keywords:
irradiation, neutron flux, radiation effects, fast reactors (nuclear), degradation, mechanical properties, crystal lattices, helium, grain boundaries, deformation, ductility, nuclear reactor materials, stainless steels, temperature, tests
