Abstract
The Reactor Pressure Vessel task of the LWRS Program works with various organizations to obtain archival surveillance materials from commercial nuclear power plants to allow for comparisons of the irradiation-induced microstructural features from reactor surveillance materials with those from similar materials irradiated under high flux conditions in test reactors, such as the UCSB ATR-2 experiment. This report, originally submitted as a Level 3 Milestone M3LW-14OR0402012 – “Complete report on post-irradiation examination plan for ORNL and University of California Santa Barbara assessment of ATR-2 capsules,” has been expanded to providing a reference to access and / or perform characterization of irradiated archival RPV materials that were transferred to the Nuclear Science User Facility (NSUF), Nuclear Fuels and Materials Library (NFML).
