Abstract: | An understanding of the effects of long-term, low-dose-rate radiation on core components is critical to light-water reactor
plant life extension. Following reactor shutdown, materials that had experienced long exposures to low-dose-rate irradiation
were retrieved from the EBR-II research reactor for analysis. These components are being analyzed to provide insight into
pressurized water reactor life extension. In this work, three examples of EBR-II materials analyses are highlighted: radiation-induced
segregation in 304 stainless steel, stress relaxation in Inconel X750, and swelling in 316 stainless steel.
