Impact of Corrosion Layer Composition and Thermal Pretreatment on the Radiolytic Generation of Molecular Hydrogen from Aluminum Alloys
To fully evaluate the feasibility of extending the dry storage of aluminum-clad spent nuclear fuel (ASNF) in helium-backfilled cannisters, the amount of radiation-induced molecular hydrogen (H2) generated and the impact of absorbed radiation dose on the ASNF corrosion layer composition must be accurately assessed. Here, we report a slowing in the rate of radiolytic H2 […]
CDB-AP: An application for coincidence Doppler broadening spectroscopy analysis
Coincidence Doppler Broadening (CDB) Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy (PAS) is a material analysis technique that can be used to non-destructively measure characteristics of structural defects in samples. Analyzing and comparing large datasets obtained using this technique, however, can be complicated and time intensive. The Coincidence Doppler Broadening Analysis Program (CDB-AP) is a graphical user interface that […]
