Review of high-temperature graphite irradiation behavior

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6707573· OSTI ID:6707573
The irradiation behavior of reactor graphites at high temperatures (500/sup 0/ to 1400/sup 0/C) to high fluences (up to 4 x 10/sup 22/ n/cm/sup 2/) is reviewed. Recent data generated during the period 1965 through 1971 are emphasized. The review covers graphite manufacture, irradiation damage, dimensional and structural changes, thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, Young's modulus, strength, and irradiation-induced creep.
