Zinkle, S J

The traveler attended the US-Japan Workshop on Small Specimen Test Techniques. This workshop provided a forum to discuss recent advances in developing miniaturized specimens for mechanical property, fracture toughness, and corrosion measurements on irradiated materials. Following the workshop, the traveler visited four Japanese universities for detailed discussions on fundamental radiation effects research in metals and ceramics. A great deal of creativity was evident in the Japanese research program, and they have devised several novel irradiation experiments that allow fundamental defect survival parameters to be directly measured. Their findings support some recent results obtained in the US fusion materials program.
