原子炉圧力容器の高経年化に対応し,圧力容器鋼の中性子照射脆化に関する評価精度向上のため,シャルピーサイズの小型試験片による破壊靭性評価法について検討した結果を報告する。試験には,国産の原子炉圧力容器用鋼材を用い,JMTRにおいて中性子照射試験を実施して,照射前後の破壊靭性を評価した。ASTM規格のマスターカーブ法とJEACの破壊靭性評価法を適用して,試験片寸法効果の補正及び破壊靭性下限値の評価を行い,寸法効果補正後の温度依存性がほぼマスターカーブに従うことや,シャルピー型試験片による破壊靭性下限値の評価法に関する知見が得られた。また,照射効果に関して,ばらつきは大きいものの,破壊靭性遷移温度のシフトが,シャルピー試験による遷移温度シフトとほぼ等しいという結果を得た。

To assure the structural integrity of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) throughout its operational life, fracture toughness of the steel after neutron irradiation must be determined. In this report the investigation on the master curve approach using Charpy-size specimens is presented for the precise evaluation of fracture toughness on irradiation embrittlement. Using some Japanese A533B-1 steels, fracture toughness tests in the transition range were performed varying specimen thickness. Charpy-size specimens were also irradiated at Japan Materials Testing Reactor. Applying the master curve method and JEAC method as well, the specimen size effect, temperature dependence and the lower bound were evaluated. The shifts of reference temperature of fracture toughness and Charpy transition temperature due to neutron irradiation were also compared and found to be almost equivalent.
