title = "The irradiation tests of sealing materials",
abstract = "Two different sealing materials used in the reactor containment buildings, butyl rubber IIR and ethylene-propylene-diene-terpolymer EPDM have been tested in the severe accident conditions, radiation field and simultaneous alkaline water exposure. There were clear differences between these two materials with radiation doses of some hundred kGy. Butyl rubber material is according to these experiments more sensitive for the radiation than EPDM, and already 115 kGy dose is changing the hardness values of the material considerably. EPDM is obviously undamaged after irradiation with 260 kGy dose.",
