NEUP DECP-29901: Improving resistance of ferritic-martensitic steels to environmental degradation in advanced nuclear reactors

This project aims to improve the resistance of ferritic-martensitic (FM) steels to environmental degradation in advanced reactors via two technical objectives: (i) design creep-tolerant FM steels with superior swelling resistance based on systematic understanding of the evolution of nanosized precipitates under extended irradiation and (ii) develop novel refractory high entropy alloy coatings to suppress the corrosion of FM steels in molten fluoride salts.
