Irradiation effects in Generation IV nuclear reactor materials
- Idaho National Laboratory
- Idaho State University
Generation IV reactor structural materials will be exposed to high doses and temperatures during reactor operation that may lead to irradiation-induced degradation. This degradation will differ from that seen in light water reactors and therefore understanding mechanisms controlling material performance during irradiation is critical for evaluating viability of Generation IV nuclear reactor concepts. This chapter discusses irradiation effects and microstructural changes that affect mechanical properties and dimensional stability of Generation IV reactor materials.
