Zorita Materials Testing May 22, 2019 NRC-Industry Materials Exchange Meeting Matt Hiser, Sri Rao, and Rob Tregoning, USNRC The 1 views expressed in this presentation are those of the authors, not necessarily those of the U.S. NRC.

NRC Perspective on Zorita Materials Testing

  • International cooperation made the ZIRP program highly cost efficient for members

- EPRIs role in leading and managing the ZIRP program is greatly appreciated

  • Zorita materials have provided important data at higher fluence levels on highly representative LWR-irradiated reactor internals materials D fluence and temperature analyses increase the value by allowing the results to be put in proper context of the aging conditions seen

- Zorita materials testing data increases knowledge of stainless steel behavior at higher fluences

  • Enabled additional research on Zorita materials by EPRI, NRC, and Halden

- Zorita weld testing funded by EPRI and NRC

- Crack growth tests on Zorita specimens at Halden

- Zorita materials testing at Argonne National Lab (ANL) funded by NRC

- Planned further irradiation of Zorita welds through Halden 2

Zorita Materials Testing at ANL

  • Through cooperation with EPRI, NRC has acquired specimens of Zorita materials for testing at ANL
  • Testing and characterization include:

- Crack growth rate and fracture toughness testing to assess response as a function of fluence

- Fractography and microscopy to correlate microstructural features of irradiation damage to observed behavior

  • A technical paper describing research activities through April 2019 will be presented at the 2019 Environmental Degradation conference 3
