Abstract

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has developed a manufacturing process for nanodispersion-strengthened materials that could be used as fuel cladding or reactor core materials. This report describes the design concept of irradiation capsules intended to accommodate specimens from such materials. The capsules will be irradiated in the flux trap of Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s High Flux Isotope Reactor at three different fluence levels. The goal of this neutron irradiation is to investigate the effects of irradiation on those materials at the nanoscale. In addition, the report describes the irradiation test matrix and the successful assembly of the irradiation capsules.
