Original abstract

A complex transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study of reactor vessel internal (RVI) materials from the baffle-former- barrel assembly from NPP Greifswald (VVER 440), Unit 1 decommissioned after 15 service cycles has been undertaken. All parts of the baffle-former-barrel assembly are made from Ti-stabilized austenitic stainless steel 08Ch18N10T. The materials were exposed to different dose of neutron radiation (2.4 – 11.4 dpa) at temperatures 267 – 398 C depending on position in the core. Three types of radiation induced defects were identified and quantified, namely: Frank dislocation loops, cavities and fine-scaled precipitated particles of Ni-Si rich phases. Black-dot type defects were observed too. Operation conditions were around 300 C that is why defects typical for both low and high regions of irradiation temperatures have observed.

Byla provedena komplexní studie transmisní elektronovou mikroskopií (TEM) na materiálu z vyňatých segmentů hraněný plech – hraněný pás – nosný válec vnitřních částí reaktoru JE Greifswald (VVER 440), Jednotka 1 odstavené po 15 servisních cyklech. Všechny segmenty byly vyrobeny z austenitické nerezové oceli stabilizované titanem 08Ch18N10T. Segmenty byly vystaveny různým neutronovým dávkám (2.4 – 11.4 dpa) při teplotách 267 – 368 C v závislosti na pozici v jádře reaktoru. Tři typy radiačně indukovaných defektů byly identifikovány a kvantifikovány, jmenovitě: dislokace, kavity a jemné precipitáty fází bohatých na nikl a křemík. Také byly pozorovány defekty typu „černé body“. Provozní podmínky byly kolem 300 C, z toho důvodu byly pozorovány defekty typické pro nízkoteplotní i vysokoteplotní oblasti ozařování.
