N2 - The target of this project has been to study and model the changing
properties of ageing pressure boundary materials used in nuclear power
plants. Models to estimate and methods to measure the behaviour of these
materials under various operational conditions in nuclear power plants have
been developed and applied. In nuclear reactors stainless steels are mainly
used as a material facing the primary circuit environment. Thus, the main
focus has been to study the role of the primary circuit environment and
surface oxide films containing Fe, Ni and Cr on changes occurring in the
mechanical properties and degradation susceptibility of ageing pressure
boundary materials.
