Gary S. Was,Pantip Ampornrat,Gaurav Gupta,S. Teysseyre,E.A. West,Todd R. Allen,Kumar Sridharan,Lizhen Tan,Yun Chen,X. Ren,C. Pister +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the current understanding of the response of candidate materials for SCWR systems, focusing on the corrosion and stress corrosion cracking response, and highlights the design trade-offs associated with certain alloy systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
IGSCC of grain boundary engineered 316L and 690 in supercritical water
E.A. West,Gary S. Was +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of a high fraction of special grain boundaries on the intergranular stress corrosion cracking susceptibility of 316L stainless steel and nickel base alloy 690 in supercritical water was evaluated.
Book ChapterDOI
Material Performance in Supercritical Water
TL;DR: The Supercritical Water-Cooled Reactor (SCWR) design has been selected as one of the Generation IV reactor concepts because of its higher thermal efficiency and plant simplification compared to current light water reactors (LWRs) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model for the normal stress dependence of intergranular cracking of irradiated 316L stainless steel in supercritical water
E.A. West,Gary S. Was +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Schmid-Modified Grain Boundary Stress model was used to characterize the normal stress acting on a grain boundary as a function of the inclination of the grain boundary plane to the tensile axis and the flow stress of a grain, as estimated from its Schmid factor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of irradiation on stress corrosion cracking in supercritical water
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of irradiation on stress corrosion cracking of 316L stainless steel and nickel-base alloy 690 in supercritical water (SCW) was studied.
