Figure 7. The effect of irradiation (4.4x 10 19 n/cm 2 , E > 1 MeV, 250ºC, JMTR test reactor) and hydrogen (2.3 ppm) on the tensile strength (a) and elongation to fracture (b) as a function of temperature. The specimens were annealed before testing for 30 min at the test temperature (Takaku et al., 1978).

Figure 8. The effect of the irradiation (4.4x 10 19 n/cm 2 , E > 1 MeV, 250°C) and hydrogen (2.3 ppm) on the tensile strength (a) and elongation to fracture (b) of A533B steel as a function of temperature. The specimens were annealed before testing for 30 min at the test temperature (Takaku and Kayano, 1982).
