Abstract
A constant deflection test was developed to evaluate the susceptibilit y of irradiated stainless steel (SS) to irradiation-assisted stress co rrosion cracking. The test was shown useful in supplementing constant extension rate tensile or slow strain rate tensile, constant load, and swelling mandrel tests that have been used in the past. Preliminary d ata showing the susceptibility of commercial-purity type 304 SS (UNS S 30400) as a function of stress, strain, and fast neutron fluence (E > 1 Me V) were presented.
