HIGH TEMPERATURE ANNEALING OF IRRADIATED
Abstract Previous work has shown that the properties of nuclear grade graphite are substantially affected by neutron irradiation. Understanding the details of how these changes occur and exactly what the damage consists of will enable prediction of the property changes as a function variables like dose, temperature, composition, micro and macrostructure.

The Stress and Reliability Analysis of HTR's Graphite
As the main structure material, graphite plays a very important role in HTR engineering, and the reliability of graphite component has a close relationship with the integrity of reactor core. The graphite components are subjected to high temperature and fast neutron irradiation simultaneously during normal operation of the reactor.

Graphite as a structural material in HTR plants
Graphite has been selected as a structural material in HTR plants because of its favourable characteristics. The low ductility and the low tensile strength of this material as well as its behaviour under the impact of fast neutron irradiation require special construction directives and design criteria. It is demonstrated that by an appropriate structural design it is possible to separate the
