NSUF 24-5023: Characterization of Irradiation-Assisted Stress Corrosion Cracking in 316 Stainless Steel Baffle-Former Bolts Harvested from Commercial Pressurized Water Reactor

The objective of this project is to assess the mechanisms for initiation and development of irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) in austenitic stainless steel internal components, baffle-former bolts, harvested from a commercial pressurized water reactor (PWR). Core internal components of PWRs are subjected to high radiation doses, temperatures and corrosive environments. Advance microstructural characterization techniques are used to explain this degradation process.
