NEUP CINR-23-29784: Deciphering Irradiation Effects of YHx through In-situ Evaluation and Micromechanics for Microreactor Applications

This project addresses a critical gap in accelerated testing of YH evolution coupling multi-length scale mechanical testing with ion irradiation and advanced characterization to establish a baseline understanding of YH evolution under ion irradiation. Our approach will couple ion irradiation and gamma irradiation with small scale mechanical testing to decipher multi-scale impacts on phase stability to advance understanding of YH in a microreactor moderator application.
