Abstract :In recent years, nuclear power plants have been built worldwide. This amount large of power is better than other energy sources for the environment, it does not have a greenhouse gas. A pressurized water reactor (PWR) is a type of light water reactor to generate electricity and it needed enriched Uranium and large cost. The purpose of this work was to investigate three different types of steel for PWR reactor vessels such as SA30400, SA302B and SA355B-1 steel. The result shows that SA355B-1 performs better than the other. On the other hand, phonons, ionization and collision events show very little damage to all materials.
