NEUP CINR-19-16980: Determining the Effects of Neutron Irradiation on the Structural Integrity of Additively Manufactured Heat Exchangers for Very Small Modular Reactor Applications

Auburn University, home to the National Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence (NCAME), has teamed with the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) Center to determine how to best use laser-powder bed fusion (L-PBF) additive manufacturing (AM) methods for generating radiation-resistant channel/pore-embedded structures from Inconel (alloy 625 or 718) nickel-based superalloys for special purpose reactor (i.e. very small modular reactor) heat exchangers.
