Review: This technical report provides guidelines for utility engineers and scientists to measure fracture toughness of sample irradiated material directly using small surveillance-sized specimens, and to apply the results using the Master Curve approach for reactor pressure vessel integrity assessment in nuclear power plants. The Master Curve method for defining a single reference transition temperature has been standardized in ASTM Standard Test method E, 1921.
