STRUctural MATerials research for safe Long Term Operation of LWR NPPs (STRUMAT-LTO)
Bay Zoltán Nonprofit Ltd. for Applied Research participates in the project STRUctural MATerials research for safe Long Term Operation of LWR NPPs (STRUMAT-LTO). During the long-term operation of pressurised water reactors, the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) becomes brittle mainly due to neutron irradiation. Scientists disagree about what causes certain low-copper RPV steels to become…
