EFFECTS OF RADIATION UPON HAFNIUM DIBORIDE
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4036809
Natural hafnium diboride and hafnium diboride 55% enriched in boron-10 were irradiated in the ETR to boron-10 burnups of about 25 to 50% from 400 to 600 deg F. Major structural damage was revealed by x-ray diffraction examination, bcth diborides degrading to amorphous structures. Attempts to measure helium retention were unsuccessful. On the basis of the results, neither the natural nor the enriched compound seems to offer much promise for control-rod applications. (auth)
