Abstract
Weight loss in structural graphite materials with different crystal st ructures and porosities was investigated under neutron (E greater than or equal to 0.18 MeV) irradiation at 320-360 K in water with doses up to 1.3 x 10(21) n/cm(2). The temperature dependences of the corrosion rate for some domestic and foreign-made graphites (unirradiated, prei rradiated, and during irradiation) were compared. The decrease in the dynamic modulus of elasticity was found to correlate to the pore volum e.
