  1. Pacific Northwest Lab., Richland, WA (United States)

A series of annealed Cu-Ni dilute binary alloys were irradiated in COBRA-1A in EBR-II at temperatures of 373, 420 and 500{degrees}C. Density measurements have been performed for specimens irradiated at 373{degrees}C to 1.78 x 10{sup 22}n cm{sup {minus}2} ({approximately}11.3 dpa for pure copper). At this temperature and dose level nickel additions suppress swelling. There is a possible indication that some type of segregation-related phenomenon also occurs, yielding radiation-induced densification.
