Reduced activation ferritic martensitic (RAFM) and oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS)
steels are the most promising candidates for fusion first-wall/blanket (FW/B) structures. The …

Nuclear energy is presently the single major low-carbon electricity source in Europe and is
overall expected to maintain (perhaps eventually even increase) its current installed power …

A large campaign of characterization of the ductile to brittle transition temperature (DBTT)
and microstructure has been performed on several commercial and lab-scale pure tungsten …

The wider application of copper alloys is challenged due to their relatively low strength and
thermal stability. Here we report a nano-reinforcement dispersion strategy to achieved an …

This paper covers the initial progress on the development of material property handbook
(MPH) of baseline CuCrZr, within the Materials Engineering Data and Design Integration …

Thermal evolution and elevated temperature annealing of the dislocation microstructure of
an irradiated metal, represented by an ensemble of elastically interacting interstitial …

Using ab initio density function theory calculations, we have determined the structure of self-
interstitial atom (SIA) defects in the most commonly occurring face-centered cubic (FCC) …

Tungsten carbide hard metal alloy with 6% by weight cobalt was studied before and after
irradiation at different fluencies with 167 MeV 132 Xe ions. Raman spectroscopy, X-ray …

The present contribution highlights results of the recent irradiation campaigns applied to
screen mechanical properties of advanced tungsten and copper-based materials—main …

Entering its final construction phase, the international fusion experiment, ITER, will
demonstrate much of the science and technology for net fusion gain. In parallel, major …
