Irradiation tests
This appears in a report of irradiation tests carried out on samples of material from the reactor pressure vessel (PWR). At first I thought it just meant the upper areas of the samples, but it seems to be being used very specifically and I'm now not sure what they mean:
Die Betrachtung aller Kriteriumskennwerte zeigt im wesentlichen die mit zunehmender Bestrahlung üblicherweise einhergehende Erhöhung der Übergangstemperaturen und ein basisdatenbezogen angestiegenes **Hochlageniveau**, das bei Satz 2 deutlich über dem KTA-Grenzwert von 68 J liegt.
Can anyone throw any light on this?

upper shelf (energy)
This is about Charpy testing ("Kerbschlagbiegeversuch"), or testing the material's ductility/brittleness, where the energy absorbed by the specimen is measured in J (Joule) -- especially important in nuclear reactor pressure vessels: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ductile-brittle_transition_temp...
"Hochlage": the top region of the curve, called "upper shelf", in a diagram plotting/correlating the impact energy applied against the temperature, as in: http://books.google.com/books?id=pKsoPh0lbpEC&pg=PA128&lpg=P...

Note from asker:
| Ah, that sounds promising. I had sent a query to the client in the meanrtime and they'd come back (via the agency) with "upper shells energy", but your "upper shelf" makes much more sense when I google it. |

rising shelf / upper shelf temperature region
This does sound like testing for irradiation embrittlement. In this context, "Übergangstemperatur" would refer to the nil-ductility temperature and be defined as the range between "Hoch- und Tieflage".
