Abstract
Two RPV steels with American denomination ASTM A508 and ASME A533B hav e been investigated with regard to radiation hardening, shift in ducti le-to-brittle transition temperature and recovery behavior after therm al annealing treatments. Main emphasis has been given to a through exa mination and classification of fracture zones of tested Charpy-V speci mens in dependence of irradiation and test conditions. The results of this investigation have been compared with the data found in Russian r eactor pressure vessel steels.
