Austenitic stainless steels (AuSS) are widely used as structural materials for nuclear reactor vessel internals (RVIs), as well as for fuel cladding and pressurizer components. Some of these components cannot be removed and replaced, and therefore the irradiation performance of the steel determines the lifetime of each reactor component. Typical irradiation-induced detrimental effects in light water-cooled power reactors include embrittlement, accelerated creep, and radiation-altered corrosion. Some second-order effects such as void swelling, hydrogen accumulation, and radiation-induced phase instability might be slowly evolving to first-order importance, especially as Western nuclear power plants are being considered for lifetime extensions to 60 and possibly 80 total years.
