The PWS has been susceptible to intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) and irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking (lASCC). The effects are assessed below. [Pg.293]

Material and structural issues to be addressed are primarily related to the potential for corrosion and stress corrosion cracking under irradiation at the high temperatures and pressures associated with the SCWR. Materials for cladding and structural components must be identified and tested to demonstrate their performance in thermal and fast-spectrum reactors. Radiolysis and water chemistry at supercritical conditions must be investigated to understand the effect on reactor materials. Specific material properties to be investigated include dimensional and microstructure stability, and strength, embrittlement, and creep resistance characteristics of the materials. [Pg.307]
