Reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels for pressurized water reactors (PWRs) with bulk P contents ranging from 0.007 to 0.012wt.% were subjected to neutron irradiation at fluences ranging from 0.3 to 1.2 × 1020n/cm2(E> 1 MeV) in PWRs or a materials testing reactor (MTR). Grain-boundary P segregation, which was analyzed using Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) on intergranular facets, increased with increasing neutron fluence. A rate theory model based on four diffusion-reaction equations for substitutional P atoms, octahedral interstitial P atoms, vacancies, and self-interstitial atoms was also used to simulate the increase in grain-boundary P segregation for RPV steels with a bulk P content up to 0.020wt.%, using parameters optimized by the present AES data. The increase in grain-boundary P segregation in RPV steel with a bulk P content of 0.015wt.%, which is the maximum P concentration in RPV steels used in Japanese nuclear power plants intended for restart, was estimated to be less than 0.1 in monolayer coverage at 1 × 1020n/cm2(E> 1 MeV). A comparison of the PWR data with the MTR data, including that from the literature, showed that neutron flux had no effect upon grain-boundary P segregation for A533B steels. The relationships of the ductile-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) shifts to grain-boundary P segregation and to yield strength were also discussed. A linear relationship between the yield strength and the DBTT shift with a slope of 0.63 was obtained for RPV steels with a bulk P content up to 0.026wt.%, which is higher than that of most U.S. A533B steels. It is concluded that the intergranular embrittlement is unlikely to occur for RPV steels irradiated in PWRs.
