Task 7: Embrittlement Database and Dosimetry Evaluation

This task was until March 1, 1999, part of the Embrittlement Data Base (EDB) and Dosimetry Evaluation Program, JCN: 6164. The objectives of the two subtasks have been reduced but the focus remains the same. Nuclear radiation embrittlement information from radiation embrittlement research on nuclear RPV steels and from power-reactor surveillance reports will be maintained in a data base to be published on a periodic basis. The information will assist the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation and the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research to effectively monitor current procedures and data bases used by vendors, utilities, and service laboratories in the pressure vessel irradiation surveillance program. It will also provide technical expertise and analysis to the NRC regarding dosimetry and transport calculations and methodologies.
