Popis: The paper presents the results of mechanical tests of ring specimens made of the 42XNM alloy after irradiation as part of the control and protection system of the VVER-1000 reactor to a damaging dose of ~12 dpa at a temperature of ~350°C and subsequent isothermal annealings in the temperature range of 400– 1150°C (heating and holding for ~2 h). A model was constructed and validated by the finite element method, it describes the mechanical characteristics of irradiated and non-irradiated samples from the 42XNM alloy during tests in the temperature range from 500 to 1000°C. The model was used to plot the temperature dependences of the maximum local plastic deformation and the yield strength of the material under study.
