RPV-1: A Virtual Test Reactor to simulate irradiation effects in light water reactor pressure vessel steels

Many key components in commercial nuclear reactors are subject to neutron irradiation which modifies their mechanical properties. So far, the prediction of the in-service behavior and the lifetime of these components has required irradiations in so-called ‘Experimental Test Reactors’. This predomina...
