If the intersection of the two lowest temperature stages is defined as a hardness ductile-brittle transition temperature, the increase in the transition temperature during irradiation was approximately consistent with data obtained with the Charpy impact test.

Thus an adequate and well integrated nondestructive testing program is necessary to assure the quality level required in a nuclear reactor pressure vessel. The principal nondestructive methods used in the fabrication of reactor pressure vessels are: visual, X-ray and gamma radiography, ultrasonics, magnetic particle, and liquid penetrant. The nondestructive testing program must include the inspection of plate material, forging, casting, cladding, and welds.
