The harsh environment of a fusion reactor, such as neutron irradiation and He/H damage, can result in significant degradation of F82H fracture toughness. Therefore, understanding the fracture toughness behavior of F82H in the fusion environment is critical to ensure the long-term safe operation of the fusion reactor. In this paper, we summarize seven irradiation campaigns of the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) covering five variants of F82H steels, including F82H IEA, F82H Mod3, F82H doped with 1.4% natural Ni, F82H doped with 1.4% 58Ni, and F82H doped with 1.4% 60Ni. The irradiation temperatures covered the range from 220 °C to 530 °C and the neutron irradiation dose spanned 4 dpa to 70 dpa. The effects of neutron irradiation temperature, dose, materials composition, Ni doping, and He production on F82H fracture toughness are discussed. Our results showed that irradiation embrittlement monotonically decreased with increasing irradiation temperature until 400 °C for F82H IEA and F82H Mod3. F82H Mod3 showed better fracture toughness than F82H IEA both before and after neutron irradiation. We determined that 1.4% Ni alloying can be applied to F82H for simulating He effect in a fission reactor without jeopardizing the fracture toughness of the material. However, more studies are needed to understand the effect of high dose (>20 dpa) and He production on F82H fracture toughness.}, title = {Effects of HFIR neutron irradiation on fracture toughness properties of standard and Ni-doped F82H}, volume = {542}, year = {2020} }
