(US/Japan collaborative program using the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) for irradiation of fusion reactor structural materials): Foreign trip report, February 14, 1988--February 20, 1988
Discussions were held with JAERI staff, led by Dr. T. Kondo, for the purpose of reviewing progress on the US/Japan Collaborative Fusion Materials Program using the HFIR, to update our Japanese partners on the status of HFIR, and to develop a scenario for continuation of the collaboration on HFIR restart. Important results on the effect of He/dpa ratio on irradiation-induced swelling and creep recently obtained from the ORR/HFIR spectral tailoring experiments were reviewed. These results reinforce the need for continuation of the program planned for the HFIR RB facility. The Japanese are clearly concerned about the continuing shutdown of HFIR. The US/Japan collaborative program is a key part of their total program to develop and qualify a material for use in the Japanese Fusion Experimental Reactor (FER). Because no plan or schedule for restart of HFIR has been agreed upon by ORNL and DOE, it was arbitrarily decided to develop a scenario for the second five years of the collaborative program based upon the assumption that HFIR will restart on October 1, 1988.
