N2 - In this study, low cycle fatigue behaviour of a 304 quality austenitic stainless steel irradiated with a 60Co radioisotope at 100-kGray-dose level was examined for the usage at the nuclear reactor vessel or a nuclear waste container. After irradiation, 1 % increment in thickness of the specimens was measured. During fatigue tests, irradiated specimens failed at earlier cycles than unirradiated specimens. The effect of irradiation on number of cycles to failure was more obvious at high strain range values. The difference in failure cycles of unirradiated and irradiated specimens is about 27 %, at 4 % total strain range. However, at 1 % total strain range, both unirradiated and irradiated specimens failed at almost the same cycle value.
