A Systematic Framework for Risk Assessment of Fusion Blanket: Addressing Manufacturing Defects, Accident Scenarios, and Radioactive Release

open access: yesScience and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The breeder blanket, as a critical component in fusion reactors, undertakes three essential functions: tritium breeding, neutron shielding, and thermal energy conversion. Serving as the primary plasma‐facing component, it operates under extreme conditions—including sustained high temperatures, intense neutron irradiation fluxes, significant ...

Machine Learning Applied to High Entropy Alloys under Irradiation

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 27, Issue 23, December 2025.
Designing alloys for extreme environments demands fast, trustworthy prediction. This review charts how machine learning—especially machine‐learned interatomic potentials and predictive models based on experiment‐informed datasets—captures the complexity of high‐entropy alloys in extreme environments, predicts phase formation, mechanical properties, and

Near Steady Late Pleistocene Tropical Denudation Rates in SW Madagascar

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Denudation is a key parameter controlling the evolution of the Earth's surface, the production of soils, the stability of relief, or the long‐term evolution of climate. Climate fluctuations conversely have a strong impact on denudation, but these complex feedback mechanisms are still under‐constrained.

Corrosion resistance of RAFM steels in pressurized water for nuclear fusion applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
L'acciaio inossidabile austenitico AISI 316 L(N) IG è utilizzato come materiale strutturale per i principali componenti in-vessel di ITER. Quando i flussi neutronici aumentano come nei componenti in vessel di DEMO, non è possibile utilizzare l’AISI 316,

Robust Assessment of Post‐Localisation Hardening Behaviour in Eurofer97 Using Inverse Finite Element Methods

open access: yesStrain, Volume 61, Issue 1, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Constitutive behaviour of fusion‐relevant steels in the post‐necking regime is necessary for detailed design of future fusion device components. A finite element model updating (FEMU) procedure using digital image correlation (DIC), particle swarm optimisation (PSO) and a novel post‐necking constitutive law was developed.

The role of zirconium in microalloyed steels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Recently there has been a renewed interest in the addition of zirconium to microalloyed steels. It has been used since the early 1920's, but has never been universally employed, as have niobium, titanium or vanadium.

Nitriding of aluminium-containing steels [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
This thesis describes a study of the nitriding behaviour of some aluminium-containing low alloy steels with and without chromium. The main aim of the study has been to establish the relationship between prior heat treatment and nitriding process ...

From Fundamental Interfacial Reaction Kinetics to Macroscopic Current–Voltage Characteristics: Case Study of Solid Acid Fuel Cell Limitations and Possibilities

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 11, Issue 20, July 16, 2024.
The electrolyte CsH2PO4, with high proton conductivity at 250 °C, is attractive for fuel cell applications. Using a model geometry to obtain the fundamental electrochemical parameters describing the oxygen reduction reaction at the CsH2PO4‐Pt‐gas interface and a 1D model of coupled mass and charge transport in porous cathodes, the measured polarization

Effect of pre-irradiation defects on helium trapping and diffusion in RAFM steel

open access: yesNuclear Fusion, 2023
Abstract In order to analyze the effect of pre-irradiation defects on helium trapping and diffusion behaviors in detail by slow positron beam, Si ion with high energies (300 keV and 6 MeV) and 100 eV helium plasma were sequentially introduced into reduced activation ferritic/martensitic steel. Massive microscopic defects were observed in
