Abstract

The reactor pressure vessels at the Yankee Rowe and Belgien BR nuclear plants were constructed by Babcock & Wilcox in 1958. The plates, of an open-hearth fabrication, were using a submerged-arc process with Linde 80 flux as the filler. The original surveillance programmes at the two plants were limited to representative A302B specimens; they feature similar chemistries as the ASTM refence plate but coarser microstructure ( prior austenite grain size of ~36µ, rather than ~15µ for the reference plate).
