Radiation-induced embrittlement of nuclear steels is one the main limiting factors for safe long-term operation power plants. In support accurate and reactor pressure vessel (RPV) lifetime assessments, we developed a physics-based model that predicts RPV steel hardening subsequent as consequence formation nano-sized clusters minor alloying elements. This shown to provide reliable assessments very wide range materials, with higher accuracy than industrial correlations. The core our multiscale...
