Heat-affected zone (HAZ) produced by butt-welding in reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steel is one of the representative materials for surveillance program. The fracture toughness values of HAZ may show a large uncertainty due to inhomogeneous metallurgical structures. Also, the inhomogeneous microstructure in HAZ may influence on the degree of uncertainty in the fracture toughness and the sensitivity to irradiation embrittlement. We investigated the fracture toughness in HAZ of unirradiated material with respect to its distance from the fusion line of welds, where the amount of mixed microstructures change due to the thermal history during the welding. Mini-C(T) specimens of HAZ were harvested from the crack position at 0.5 mm, 1 mm and 2 mm from the fusion line of welds. The uncertainty of fracture toughness in HAZ, from the fusion line at 0.5 mm in particular, was larger than those of base metal at a quarter thickness. From the results of fracture toughness evaluation considering the standard deviation, there was the difference of reference temperature, in each position of HAZ.
in all positions of HAZ was significantly lower than that of base metal, which means the fracture toughness in HAZ was greater than that of base metal at a quarter thickness.

In the current structural integrity assessment of the reactor pressure vessel, the accurate reference temperature (T) based on the Master Curve method is necessary. The T
can be estimated by using the Mini-C(T) fracture toughness specimen in accordance with ASTM E1921 and JEAC4216, which prescribe the pre-crack straightness criteria. A requirement in ASTM E1921 has been revised in a decade to increase the accuracy and reasonability, and the applicable crack curvature has been varied by applied codes. The pre-crack curvature of the Mini-C(T) specimen might have an impact on the T
because of the variation of the plastic constraint. In this work, the effect of the crack curvature on the fracture toughness (K
) evaluation using the Mini-C(T) specimen was quantitatively evaluated by using the finite element analysis (FEA) including the Weibull stress analysis, to discuss the difference in a requirement of the crack straightness in ASTM E1921 and JEAC4216. FEAs showed a possibility that the upper limit curvature would decrease the plastic constraint, and consequently obtain higher K
in the Mini-C(T) specimen. Furthermore, if the upper limit curvature according to the ASTM E1921-21 was allowed, the T
would be estimated as non-conservative based on the Weibull stress analysis. In contrast, the difference in (T
) between the crack with upper limit curvature according to JEAC4216 and the ideal straight crack was not significant.

The applicability of miniature-C(T) (Mini-C(T)) specimens to fracture toughness evaluation was investigated for neutron-irradiated reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steel. value determined from irradiated Mini-C(T) specimens was in good agreement with that determined from the irradiated pre-cracked Charpy-type (PCCv) specimens. Also, the scatter of the 1T-equivalent fracture toughness values obtained from the irradiated Mini-C(T) specimens was not significantly different from that obtained from the irradiated PCCv.
values determined from Mini-C(T) specimens agreed very well with the correlation between Charpy 41J transition temperature and
of commercially manufactured RPV steels.
