NEUP CINR-21-24247: Multi-scale Effects of Irradiation Damage on Nuclear Graphite Properties

Irradiation induces microstructural damage in graphite, causing both dimensional and property (stiffness, strength and creep) changes as a function of the displacement damage and temperature. The biggest gap remains is the fundamental deformation mechanisms behind the property changes. We propose to eliminate this gap in knowledge with a comprehensive, multi-scale experimental framework exploiting in-situ transmission electron and X-ray computed tomography.
