NEUP CINR-20-19821: X-ray diffraction tomography analysis of SiC composite tubes neutron-irradiated with a radial high heat flux

This project will conduct x ray diffraction computed tomography analysis at NSLS II and provide critical data on lattice strain for the response of SiC tubes to neutron irradiation under a temperature gradient, which will be used to validate or provide an opportunity to improve the thermo-mechanical modeling of SiC/SiC tubes for accident tolerant LWR fuel applications; This experimental result will be compared with simulated lattice strains.
