Effect of Neutron Fluence Rate on Irradiation Embrittlement of Low-copper RPV Steel
The reactor pressure vessels (RPVs) of pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plants currently in operation and under construction in China are all made of low-alloy ferritic steels obtained by quenching and tempering treatments (which meet the ...
