Selection of flowing liquid lead target structural materials for accelerator driven transmutation applications

摘要: The beam entry window and container for a liquid lead spallation target will be exposed to high fluxes of protons neutrons that are both higher in magnitude energy than have been experienced proton accelerators fission reactors, as well corrosive environment. structural material the should good compatibility with lead, sufficient mechanical strength at elevated temperatures, performance under an intense irradiation environment, low neutron absorption cross section; these factors used rank applicability wide range materials containment. Nb‐1Zr has selected use LANL ABC/ATW molten target. Corrosion mass transfer behavior various candidate reviewed, together beneficial effects inhibitors coatings protect substrate against corrosion. Mechanical properties some candida...
