The safety analysis of nuclear reactor components requires an extensive knowledge about the reliability of the material also under the extreme loading conditions during fast cooling. The aim of this project was to evaluate the influence of the microstructure and microgeometry at a prestressed crack tip on the fracture behaviour in the lower shelf region. The fracture toughness of the pressure vessel steels 10MnMoNi5-5 and 17MoV8-4 in the lower shelf region after prestressing under quasi-static and impact loading has been estimated and correlations between microstructure, loading history and fracture mechanism in the lower shelf and in the transition region have been evaluated by metallographic, microfractographic and X-ray methods. The main...
