Abstract

This technical report is in submission of completion of the Level 2 milestone number M2AT 23OR1101022, titled “Be₂C synthesis, properties, and ion-beam irradiation damage characterization,” for the AT-23OR110102 “Beryllium Carbide as moderator for MSRs—ORNL” WBS number 2.04.11.01 within the larger Advanced Reactor Technologies program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This effort is an initial study of the viability of Be₂C as a future neutron moderator for molten salt reactors and other high-temperature reactors. The research was awarded funding in September 2022, and this Level 2 milestone presents the work that completed by the end of July 2023. This work is a collaboration between Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Michigan. This report discusses the status of this effort and planned work before the final reporting.
