摘要
The effects of neutron irradiation on the electrical resistivity of precipitation hardened (PH) and dispersion strengthened (DS) copper alloys are discussed. The analysis is based on the experimental study of radiation damage of PH and DS copper alloys, irradiated in the fast neutron reactor BOR-60 with doses of 8-16 X 10(25) n/m(2) and in the mixed spectrum neutron reactor SM-2 with doses of 3.7-5.5 X 10(25) n/m(2). The experimental data on the change hp in electrical resistivity of DS-type copper alloys irradiated in the BOR-60 reactor show that irradiation to 7-10 dpa at T = 340-450 degrees C causes a drop in electrical conductivity by not more than 20%. The obtained results show that in mixed-spectrum reactors the rate of Delta rho normalized to the dpa is about 20 times as high as in fast neutron reactors. The conclusion is made that the calculations performed for ITER must take into account the presence of appreciable fluxes of thermal neutrons in certain components of the reactor. The latter will play a decisive role in the drop in thermal conductivity of copper alloys in these components. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
