Thesis
Electron microscopy studies of precipitation in nuclear reactor pressure vessel steels under neutron irradiation and thermally ageing
- Abstract:
-
Maintaining the safe operation of nuclear power plants (NPPs) is crucial. This requires fully understanding the mechanism of long term irradiation and thermal ageing, as well as their effects, on components including the reactor pressure vessel (RPV). The research community is collecting data that will be required to support the case for extending the operation of western-type NPPs beyond that of 60 years. One of the current dilemmas faced by the long-term operation of RPVs is the formatio...
