Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of high dose neutron irradiation on microstructure of EP-450 ferritic–martensitic steel irradiated in three Russian fast reactors
TL;DR: The microstructure of EP-450 ferritic-martensitic steel was determined after irradiation in BN-350, BN600 and BR-10 fast reactors at temperatures in the range 275-690 °C as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Saturation of swelling in neutron-irradiated molybdenum and its dependence on irradiation temperature and starting microstructural state
TL;DR: In this article, the development of void superlattices during neutron irradiation appears to limit void swelling in pure molybdenum to values below 4% over a wide range of irradiation temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-dose neutron irradiation of MgAl2O4 spinel: effects of post-irradiation thermal annealing on EPR and optical absorption
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the EPR and optical absorption spectra during thermal annealing of stoichiometric MgAl2O4 spinel that was previously irradiated in the Materials Open Test Assembly in the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF/MOTA) at ≈680-K to ≈50-dpa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shear punch testing of 59Ni isotopically-doped model austenitic alloys after irradiation in FFTF at different He/dpa ratios
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the evolution of microstructure, void swelling and mechanical properties of model austenitic alloys in response to differences in helium/dpa rates, and use shear punch testing to assess the relative effect of helium generation ratios and various important material and environmental variables.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of the JFMS tensile properties to the properties of other ferritic/martensitic steels suggests that this hardening is due to precipitation of a Si-rich laves phase in this alloy.
