Milestone Report on Microstructure of Irradiated Sensors and Coupling Adhesive Bonds

Research output: Other contributionTechnical Report

Abstract

This report describes the ORNL aspects of an NSUF project in collaboration between EPRI, ORNL, and NCSU. Preliminary characterizations at ORNL LAMDA laboratory on piezoelectric sensors and bonds before and after NCSU PULSTAR reactor irradiation. Five pre-irradiation and seven post-irradiation samples have been examined by scanning electron microscopy and related methods so far. Samples consisted of (Pb,Bi)(Sc,Ti)O3 or LiNbO3 ceramics. Bonding layers consisted of epoxy, zirconia, alumina, aluminosilicate, or a complex soda-lime type slurry.
