- Standard surveillance specimen programs for materials in the reactor pressure vessels of VVER-440/V-213 type reactors were designed with a high lead factor (approx. equal to 12 for base metal and 18 for weld metal). Thus, end-of-life neutron fluence levels are obtained within the first three years of operation. The maximum irradiation time is five years after which there is no active monitoring of neutron fluence inside reactor pressure vessels. Also, the distribution of neutron flux along surveillance specimen chains creates a large difficulty in grouping of specimens for static fracture toughness testing.
