Transmutation in Copper-Base Brazing Materials
- Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Richland, WA (United States)
Brazing compounds containing silver or gold will transmute during irradiation, forming significant amounts of either cadmium or mercury, respectively, in all neutron spectra of current interest to the fusion materials program. The impact of this transmutation on braze performance and on development of fission-fusion correlations has yet to be determined, but will be addressed in an irradiation experiment that was recently completed in FFTF-MOTA. A lesser amount of transmutation will occur in brazes containing tin, but no specimens containing brazes with tin have yet been irradiated.
