N2 - Mechanical properties of WWER-440 RPV weld joints have been studied with account of different states of the material: baseline (unirradiated), irradiated up to the average fast neutron fluence of 6.5 × 1019 n/cm 2, irradiated and eventually annealed, re-irradiated with the accumulated fast neutron fluence of 1.3 × 1020 n/cm 2, Tensile, impact fracture, and fracture toughness tests were performed for each state of the material with the use of Charpy specimens (standard, reconstituted, and pre-cracked).
