Effect of neutron irradiation on ductility of tungsten foils developed for tungsten-copper laminates

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy, 2022
Severe plastic deformation of tungsten (W) is known to be an efficient way to reduce its inherently high ductile-to-brittle transition temperature (DBTT), what is essential for its use in components of a fusion reactor.

Development of innovative materials and thermal treatments for DEMO water cooled blanket

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy, 2019
One of the options currently taken into account for the realization of the first DEMO reactor is the “water-cooled lanket”. This option implies an irradiation temperature for the blanket material in the range of 280–350 °C.

Limited field radiation therapy results in decreased bone fracture toughness in a murine model. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Fragility fractures are a well-known complication following oncologic radiotherapy, and it is suspected that radiation-induced embrittlement of bone within the treatment field may contribute to fracture risk.

Master curve testing of RPV steels using mini-C(T) specimens – Irradiation effects and censoring statistics

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy, 2023
Neutron irradiation-induced embrittlement of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) leads to an increase in the reference temperature (T0) of the RPV steel and reduces the operating lifetime of nuclear reactors. Fracture mechanics testing of RPV steels before

Irradiation Embrittlement of WWER RPV Steels Irradiated at High Fluences [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Nuclear Technology in Applied Science, 2020
A statistical analysis of data obtained during impact testing of surveillance specimen of 15 WWER-440 RPVs operating in Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia was performed. The raw data used were selected from the IAEA International Database. As a result of the analysis, the influence of P and Cu to Tk increase was observed

On the Limitations of Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy in the Investigation of Ion-Implanted FeCr Samples

open access: yesMetals, 2021
New materials for advanced fission/fusion nuclear facilities must inevitably demonstrate resistance to radiation embrittlement. Thermal and radiation ageing accompanied by stress corrosion cracking are dominant effects that limit the operational ...

Low-temperature embrittlement and fracture of metals with different crystal lattices – Dislocation mechanisms

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy, 2016
The state of a low-temperature embrittlement (cold brittleness) and dislocation mechanisms for formation of the temperature of a ductile-brittle transition and brittle fracture of metals (mono- and polycrystals) with various crystal lattices (BCC, FCC ...
