Views of TAGSI on the principles underlying the assessment of the mechanical properties of irradiated ferritic steel Reactor Pressure Vessels

The principles are reviewed which underlie trend curve development for irradiated ferritic Reactor Pressure Vessel steels where the dominant embrittlement mechanism is cluster hardening. The extent to which the form of the equations employed reflect the underlying physical mechanism is assessed.
