ALLOY FOR USE IN A RADIOACTIVE RAY ENVIRONMENT AND REACTOR CORE MEMBERS

摘要

An alloy for use in an environment exposed to neutron rays consists principally of Cr-Ni austenite stainless steel containing nitrogen in an amount exceeding the amount of an impurity and having principally an austenite structure. The alloy is used for reactor core members such as a core shroud, core supporters, control rods, etc. which are exposed to the neutron radiation but prevented from being embrittled by the radiation.
