NSUF 15-CINR-8418: Microstructural Evolution in Low Fluence Irradiated Metallic Fuels

Researchers will use the state-of-the-art synchrotron-based characterization techniques via the Nuclear Science User Facilities, (NSUF) to assess radiation damage effects on the microstructure, as well as mechanical properties resulting from recent low fluence neutron irradiations (up to 1 dpa with temperatures ranging from 150 to 800o C) which have been previously completed on metallic fuel alloys, including a number of U-Zr and U-Mo systems as part of an ATR NSUF irradiation experiment.
