The objective of this task is to provide estimated HT9 cladding and duct fracture toughness values for test (or application) temperatures ranging from -10°C to 200°C, after irradiation at temperatures of 360-390°C. This is expected to be an extrapolation of the limited data presented by Huang[1, 2]. This extrapolation is based on currently accepted methods (ASTM 2003 Standard E 1921-02), and other relevant fracture toughness data on irradiated HT9 or similar alloys.
