Crack growth rate (CGR) tests have been conducted with neutron irradiated compact tension (CT) specimens. The CGR tests of 316L and 304L base metals irradiated from 0.516 to 1.07$$times$$10$$^{25}$$n/m$$^{2}$$ (E$$>$$1MeV), and of 316L and 308L weld metals irradiated from 0.523 to 0.541$$times$$10$$^{25}$$n/m$$^{2}$$ (E$$>$$1MeV) were performed using the reversing dc potential drop (DCPD) method under constant load at a few average stress intensity factors (K) and electrochemical corrosion potential (ECP) conditions at 288$$^{circ}$$C in water. CGRs of base metals were increased with increasing neutron fluence. Clear reductions in CGRs of base metals and weld metals were measured with decreasing ECP levels.
