Feasibility of Isotopically Tailored Low Activation Materials
- Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
Materials employed in future fusion reactors and advanced fission reactors are susceptible to activation and transmutation due to fast neutron flux, which drives the need for Low Activation Materials for survivability, maintenance, and long-term disposal considerations. This paper investigates the feasibility of using ORNL’s planned enrichment technologies to produce isotopically enriched or depleted materials for use in future reactor construction. We focus on identifying isotopes of interest and performing estimates of the required scale of enrichment to impact future design and operation.
