Hydrogen embrittlement in irradiated steels [PDF]
Nuclear Engineering and Design, 1966 Abstract Hydrogen charging conditions that completely embrittle an ultra-high strength steel have a negligible effect on 212-B pressure vessel steel in tensile and delayed failure tests, Much higher hydrogen charges reduce the notch tensile strength.

Control of Irradiation Embrittlement in Molybdenum [PDF]
Nature, 1961 IRON, steel, and other body-centred cubic metals show an increase in ductile-brittle transition temperature as a result of neutron irradiation. In an attempt to elucidate the mechanism of this embrittlement for EN2 steel, Hull and Mogford1 studied the effect of neutron irradiation on the parameters σi and k y in the Petch relation:

Irradiation Embrittlement of WWER RPV Steels Irradiated at High Fluences [PDF]
Journal of Nuclear Technology in Applied Science, 2020 A statistical analysis of data obtained during impact testing of surveillance specimen of 15 WWER-440 RPVs operating in Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia was performed. The raw data used were selected from the IAEA International Database. As a result of the analysis, the influence of P and Cu to Tk increase was observed

Effect of neutron irradiation on ductility of tungsten foils developed for tungsten-copper laminates
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2022 Severe plastic deformation of tungsten (W) is known to be an efficient way to reduce its inherently high ductile-to-brittle transition temperature (DBTT), what is essential for its use in components of a fusion reactor.

Development of innovative materials and thermal treatments for DEMO water cooled blanket
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2019 One of the options currently taken into account for the realization of the first DEMO reactor is the “water-cooled lanket”. This option implies an irradiation temperature for the blanket material in the range of 280–350 °C.

Limited field radiation therapy results in decreased bone fracture toughness in a murine model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Fragility fractures are a well-known complication following oncologic radiotherapy, and it is suspected that radiation-induced embrittlement of bone within the treatment field may contribute to fracture risk.
