This publication contains selected papers presented at the 20th Symposium on Effects of Radiation on Materials, held in June, 2000 The symposium was sponsored by ASTM Committee El0 on Nuclear Technology and Applications.
The 57 papers contained in this STP are organized in nine sections, four on reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels, one each on austenitic and ferritic/martensitic alloys, one on proton and spallation neutron sources, one on radiation damage fundamentals, and the final section on other materials.
As typical for recent symposia in this series, a large percentage of the papers in this STP (44%) deal with RPV steels and RPV integrity. The section on other materials contains papers covering a wide range including vanadium alloys, tungsten rods used in the production of tritium, silicon film, silicon carbide and silicon carbide composites, shape-memory alloys, zirconium-niobium pressure tube materials, and other metals and alloys.
Specific topics addressed by papers in this STP include:
- fracture toughness characterization
- 304L and 316L austenitic stainless steels and alloy 718
- intergranular embrittlement
- radiation-induced segregation
- method of molecular dynamics (MD)
- production rate of large interstitial clusters
- production of large vacancy clusters
- irradiation-induced hardness by thermal annealing
- effects of copper concentration and neutron flux
- irradiation-induced precipitates
- Master Integrated Reactor Vessel Surveillance Program (MIRVP)
- radiation embrittlement and mitigation
- fracture toughness and tensile properties of pressure vessel cladding
- strength and ductility for austenitic stainless steel
- effects of copper, phosphorus and nickel on radiation embrittlement
- reconstitution technology
- void swelling, radiation-induced segregation
- reduced activation
- PWR environment
- high-Energy spallation neutron effects
- vanadium doped with nitrogen
- preferential amorphization in polycrystalline silicon film
- submerged arc weld metal
The diversity in subject material and the technical quality of the research presented in this STP make is a useful reference for scientists and engineers interested in the study of radiation effects on materials and to the nuclear industry.
