| Abstract Scope |
In-situ characterization of the microstructure of materials while conducting neutron irradiations is extremely challenging due to the harsh environments within nuclear reactors. However, quasi-in-situ microstructural characterization can be carried out on nuclear materials by non-destructively examining the same specimen prior to and after neutron irradiation. Although this technique does not capture dynamic events that occur during irradiation, it does enable a more comprehensive understanding of neutron damage to a specific microstructure. This talk will focus on the use of synchrotron imaging and diffraction techniques applied to a neutron irradiated structural material. |
