The formulas developped in different countries for predicting the embrittlement of reactor pressure vessel steels due to neutron irradiation have been collected and compared. The low-alloy steels which are ussed are essentially Manganese-Nickel-Molybdenu steels (16MND5, A533B, A508cl3), in weste...
