Microstructural Characterization of Neutron Preconditioned HT-9
EMSL Project ID
51828
Abstract
This proposal seeks to use EMSL facilities to study microstructure evolution of materials subjected to extreme environment, such as high temperature, and irradiation, for energy relevant applications, with the goal of gaining mechanistic insights. The understanding of these driving force for materials degradation in these environments will help us to develop new materials, reduce cost, and promote safety operations. With the aid of EMSL’s characterization capability, the structural and chemical alterations can be better observed and investigation, thus serving the foundation to resolve scientific challenge problems in understanding and improving materials performance. The current emphasis for this proposal is on structural materials for fast reactors.
