摘要：

Regarding irradiation damage, the most sensitive region in the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) is the area adjacent to the reactor core; the so called belt-line region. Belt-lines and their related heat affected zones (HAZs) in the belt-line region are constantly under neutron and gamma irradiation and have a higher potential to various flaws. The microscopic defects produced in materials due to irradiation are referred to as radiation damage; the units of displacements per atom (DPA) are used routinely to characterize the extent of such damage. In this research, for a typical VVER-1000 (V446) RPV, the areas of the highest neutron radiation flux (belt-line) is first identified by using a Monte Carlo neutron transport code. This is used to calculate and validate the neutron flux and fluence at the belt-line. Employing the PTRAC output from MCNP and the SRIM Monte Carlo code, radiation damage in the RPV is simulated and assessed in terms of DPA. The integrated damage for a full effective year is evaluated to be order of 5E-04 displacements per cm thickness of RPV belt-line metal. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
