Structural metallic materials used in nuclear facilities are submitted to irradiation which induce the creation of large amounts of point defects, which leads to modifications of the microstructure and the mechanical properties. In nuclear power plants, the main structural materials are: the pressure vessel (ferritic steels), the internal structure (austenitic steels).

In order to simulate the microstructure evolution with the objective to predict it, multiscale modelling tools are developed (Fig. 1). For this purpose different simulation methods are used and developed in order to treat the different physical phenomena occurring at different time scales and length scales:

ab initio, classical molecular dynamics, kinetic Monte Carlo, dislocation dynamics, phase field [1]. These simulations are very CPU demanding and take advantage of the development of High Performance Computing machines.

Fig. 1: Multiscale modelling scheme applied within the PERFORM-60 project to the pressure vessel and internal material microstructure.

The microstructure evolution under irradiation is obtained starting from the neutron spectrum to obtain the primary damage (displacement cascades), followed by the evolution of the point defects formed and their accumulation (Fig. 2).

Fig. 2: Microstructure modelling under irradiation.

The point defects created (vacancy and self interstitials) under irradiation often interact with the solute elements present in the materials. Solutes can precipitate and/or segregate on point defect clusters (loops or voids) or extended defects (dislocations, grain boundaries). These modifications of the microstructure affect directly the mechanical properties of the materials. Thus, modelling should take into account the most important solute elements in the chemical composition of the industrial alloys.

For the pressure vessel steels (for which an important international efforts is done in particular thanks to the PERFECT [2] and PERFORM-60 european projects) the evolution of the microstructure of dilute Fe alloys as complex as Fe-CuNiMnSiP-C under irradiation are modelled using a multiscale approach based on ab initio, molecular dynamics and kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations. In these atomic KMC simulations, both self interstitials and vacancies, isolated or in clusters, as well as carbon atoms are modelled [3]. The short term evolution of the microstructure is simulated. The medium to long term evolution of the microstructure is obtained by object KMC and cluster dynamics, considering a “grey” material. The interaction of some of these defects with dislocations are characterised by molecular dynamics in order to be used in mesoscopic dislocation dynamics. A similar approach is developed for austenitic materials modelled by a concentrated FeCrNi alloy (

γ

-Fe70Cr20Ni10). The thermal ageing (without irradiation) of FeCr alloys will also be presented.

In the framework of the european projects dedicated to the pressure vessel steels and the austenitic steels, the multiscale modelling methods of the microstructure have been capitalised within two tools (RPV and INTERN) [4].
