Title: Development of Nanostructured Materials with Improved Radiation Tolerance for Advanced Nuclear Systems

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/962667· OSTI ID:962667

This project will explore the fundamental mechanisms through which interfaces in nanolayered structures and grain boundaries of bulk nanomaterials are able to attract and rapidly eliminate point defects and unwanted foreign species. Candidate materials that will be studied include both nanostructured multilayer composites synthesized by magnetron sputtering and structural bulk nanomaterials produced by severed plastic deformation, equal channel angular extrusion.
