RADIATION DAMAGE FROM DIFFERENT PARTICLE TYPES

摘要: In the 1960s and 70s, heavy ion irradiation was being developed for purpose of simulating neutron damage in support fast breeder reactor program. [1-3] Ion simultaneous He injection have also been used to simulate effects 14 MeV conjunction with fusion engineering Lately, application (defined here as any charged particle, including electrons) study is revisited by light water community an effort solve assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) problem. [4-6], additionally, understand performance pressure vessel steels, Zircaloy fuel cladding, materials advanced concepts GenIV program cycle initiative, AFCI. While environment plays a role IASCC, appearance “threshold” fluence demonstrates that observed behavior strongly related irradiation-induced changes alloy may involve microstructural changes, microchemical transmutation, or some synergistic combination these effects.
