Monte Carlo evaluation of neutron irradiation damage to the VVER-1000 RPV
Neutron irradiation damage is of the most critical damage mechanisms in nuclear power plant's pressure vessel. Neutrons transfer their kinetic energy to target atoms of RPV that start to jump creating vacancies and interstitials known as Frenkel Pair (FP). The FPs are responsible for formation...
