The embrittlement of two types of nuclear pressure vessel steel, 15Kh2NMFA and A508 Cl.2, was studied using two different methods of magnetic nondestructive testing: micromagnetic multiparameter microstructure and stress analysis (3MA-X8) and magnetic adaptive testing (MAT). The microstructure and mechanical properties of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) materials are modified due to neutron irradiation; this material degradation can be characterized using magnetic methods. For the first time, the progressive change in material properties due to neutron irradiation was investigated on the same specimens, before and after neutron irradiation. A correlation was found between magnetic characteristics and neutron-irradiation-induced damage, regardless of the type of material or the applied measurement technique. The results of the individual micromagnetic measurements proved their suitability for characterizing the degradation of RPV steel caused by simulated operating conditions. A calibration/training procedure was applied on the merged outcome of both testing methods, producing excellent results in predicting transition temperature, yield strength, and mechanical hardness for both materials.

The effects of temperature and neutron irradiation on the silicon nanoparticles have been studied at different frequencies. It has been defined that additional electro-active radiation defects occur in the silicon nanomaterial after neutron irradiation. Therefore, the change of neutron flux at the interval of [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] increases the conductivity of nanosilicon. Activation energies of the silicon nanoparticles were calculated for 10 different constant frequencies according to Arrhenius approach before and after neutron irradiation. The mechanism of electrical conductivity which explains results has been established.

Boron oxide nanopowder is widely used in the production of special glasses and nuclear technology. This paper reports on the optical properties and investigates the formation of new bonds on the structure of nanoboron oxide. In this work, high purity boron oxide samples were irradiated using a energy upto 1 MeV fast neutrons with fluences in the range of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and the neutron flux [Formula: see text] at the room-temperature. Optical properts were determined using Raman spectrum analysis and spectroscopy Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. FTIR and Raman spectrum analysis were used to explain the chemical bonds and functional groups of nanoboron oxide samples before and after neutron irradiation. When the irradation fluence on [Formula: see text] was increased upto [Formula: see text] it resulted in the formation of a new functional groups [Formula: see text]. From the Raman analysis, the [Formula: see text] was observed to start amorphization after neutron irradiation.
