Description
Convener: F. Pellemoine (FRIB)
A summary of ion irradiation facilities will be provided, including the UK National Ion Beam Centre. Facilities from around Europe and the USA will be summarised. Indication will be given on the facilities available at example facilities and where possible (within time and space constraints) some examples will be provided. According to the IAEA Accelerator Knowledge Portal There are over 200...
Materials exposed to radiation can undergo undesirable changes, including radiation-induced swelling and creep, hardening, amorphization, phase segregation, and radiation-enhanced corrosion. At the fundamental level these changes are driven by defects that can aggregate into clusters and dislocations and segregate to interfaces, such as grain boundaries. The nature and dynamics of these...
It is proposed to develop a more efficient method to evaluate radiation damage effects on fatigue life and mechanical/physical properties of future target materials using an existing 9 MeV electron beam machine at Fermilab’s IARC facility. This method is unique in that it replicates the prototypic thermal shock environment of high energy proton target facilities while simultaneously...
Staff members at PNNL have conducted numerous neutron irradiation experiments at research and test reactors in the US and overseas. Many of these experiments were conducted in support of programs that are subject to commercial nuclear quality assurance requirements (NQA-1 or 10 CFR 50 Appendix B). While this degree of quality assurance rigor may not be appropriate for proton irradiation...
