Promoting regulatory acceptance of combined ion and neutron irradiation testing of nuclear reactor materials: Modeling and software considerations
As the needs for the nuclear energy industry continue to evolve in the 21st century century, timely adoption of new technological solutions acceptable to regulatory agencies is critical. Quantitative prediction of radiation damage in materials and its impact on mechanical properties is a key component of licensing and regulatory decisions regarding nuclear power plants. Accelerated […]
Promoting the regulatory acceptance of combined ion and neutron irradiation for material degradation in nuclear reactors
The Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies (AMMT) program within the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy has developed its current recommendation for promoting the use of combined ion irradiation and neutron irradiation for the accelerated qualification of materials to be deployed in nuclear reactors. This plan is intended to provide a collaborative path […]
Accelerated Irradiation Effects Qualification in the AMMT Program
This presentation discusses the ongoing and upcoming efforts to use combined neutron and ion irradiation experiments for materials qualification within the Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies (AMMT) program for the 2024 AMMT program review meeting. The microstructure evolution of additively manufactured 316 L and 316 H stainless steels are discussed, as well as the development […]
