Properties of several materials used in various systems and components of a reac

tor form
a vital input to the design of those systems and components. The materials inclu
de fluids,
which are used as heat transport medium, cover gas in sodium system and as inter
space
medium in the Main vessel - Safety vessel. These fluids work at different operat
ing
conditions (viz.) temperature, pressure and radiation. Prediction of the behavio
ur of any
system or component during the various conditions of reactor operation depends o
n the
accuracy and consistency of the material properties used. Therefore it is essent
ial that
they should be used uniformly by all the designers.
