The Studies of Irradiation Hardening of Stainless Steel Reactor Internals under Proton and Xenon Irradiation
Specimens of stainless steel reactor internals were irradiated with 240 keV protons and 6 MeV Xe ions at Board Games New Sealed room temperature.Nanoindentation constant stiffness measurement tests were carried out to study the hardness variations.An irradiation hardening effect was observed in proton- and Xe-irradiated specimens and more irradiati
