This paper summarizes the experience of the RESQUE project. The final objective of the project was the development of a set of ‘Recommendations for Reconstitution of Non-Irradiated and Irradiated Charpy-size Specimens,’ based on the systematic analysis of the experimental data from the program and on the collective reconstitution experience available in different laboratories within Europe. The paper reviews the general information from RESQUE and summarizes the conclusions. Specific details are given in other contributions to this Symposium.
