Abstract
The results of numerical simulation of radiation-thermal forming for bearing shells of reflectors for reactors BN-600 and BN-800, made of various austenitic steels, with the help of parameters of models for radiation swelling, radiation creep, and plasticity, are presented. Based on an analysis of the results, we show that the radiation change in basic dimensions, which characterizes the efficiency of the reactor BN-800 reflector made from austenitic steel Kh16N11M3, is significantly lower than changes for similar sizes for the reactor BN-600 reflector made from steel Kh18N9.
