Popis: Irradiation creep and swelling measurements are reported for Fe-2-1/4Cr-1Mo after irradiation by fast neutrons over the temperature range 390 to 560/sup 0/C. diameter change measurements on thin walled pressurized tubes in a bainitic condition and density change measurements on rods in a nonstandard condition were made following irradiation in the Expaerimental Breeder Reactor II. The irradiation creep specimens were irradiated to a fluence of 5.7 x 10/sup 22/ n/cm/sup 2/ (E > 0.1 MeV) or 30 dpa and the swelling specimens were irradiated to a peak fluence of 2.4 x 10/sup 23/ n/cm/sup 2/ or 115 dpa. These results have been used as a basis to establish in-reactor creep and swelling correlations for 2-1/4Cr-1Mo in a bainitic condition. The correlations predict moderate swelling and moderate irradiation enhanced creep at 390/sup 0/C.
