Abstract
The principles are reviewed which underlie trend curve development for irra diated ferritic Reactor Pressure Vessel steels where the dominant embrittle ment mechanism is cluster hardening. The extent to which the form of the eq uations employed reflect the underlying physical mechanism is assessed. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
