  2. Object: • Determination of radiation embrittlement for weld and base metal through the wall thickness of WWER-1000; • Evaluation of radiation condition influence on the damage and mechanical properties of vessel steel

  12. Conclusions 1. Irradiation of the WWER-1000 vessel materials was carried out using the capabilities of the KORPUS facility. Irradiation of the reactor wall was simulated in the experiment including changes of neutron flux and spectrum. 2. TFfor base metal does not exceed 30-40 0С, for weld metal - 70-80 0С at fluence corresponding to 50-60 years of the WWER-1000 operation. 3. The dependences of radiation embrittlement obtained under the radiation flux attenuation do not correspond to the normative dependence, where TFdepends on neutron fluence with energy more than 0,5 MeV. For base metal there is difference from the surveillance data. The change of the radiation flux characteristics effects the embrittlement degree. 4. One of the possible causes of the embrittlement degree change under irradiation of the “thick” assemblies is the change of thermal neutron flux. However, the determination of the quantitative contribution of each type of ionizing radiation requires additional experiments.
