N2 - This report provides a summary of the test matrix and assembly of thirteen capsules containing silicon carbide joint specimens, where the goal of this experiment is to investigate the effects of irradiation on such joints. Two capsule designs are used to accommodate two different specimen geometries: a small torsion specimen to measure basic thermomechanical properties, and a cladding-style “end plug” specimen to demonstrate the strength and integrity of such cladding under typical thermal gradients and stresses. The assembled capsules are scheduled for two cycles of irradiation in the flux trap of the High Flux Isotope Reactor with two different target temperatures: 350 and 750°C.
