Abstract

Discussed is the comparison of three complementary studies undertaken to clarify several uncertainties: the accelerated irradiation and test program launched in 1990 by Yankee Atomic Electric Company using typical vessel plate materials; the BR3 surveillance and vessel testing program; and the accelerated irradiations in the Belgian test reactor BR2 of the Yankee coarse grain plates YA1 and YA9 together with BR3 vessel specimens extracted at nozzle elevation. The sensitivity of embrittlement, annealing and post-anneal reembrittlement to irradiation temperature, nickel and other alloying or impurity elements are highlighted.
