The fluoride-salt-cooled high-temperature reactor (FHR) is a Generation IV nuclear energy
system with huge potential for further development. Owing to its unique advantages, such as …

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 …

Neutron irradiation in mixed spectrum reactors is an effective approach to investigate the
synergistic effects of solid transmutations and atomic displacement damage in tungsten. In …

Refractory metals as a class of materials are understood to share the common properties of
very high melting temperature and mechanical properties and wear resistance. A narrowly …

The vacuum electron beam welding (EBW) properties of Mo-14Re alloys were studied in this
work. The weld morphology and microstructure were observed by optical microscope (OM) …

Steel–steel composite metal foams (S–S CMFs) and Aluminum–steel composite metal
foams (Al–S CMFs) with various sphere sizes and matrix materials were manufactured and …

Abstract High purity SiC and SiC/SiC composites coated with commercial TiN, Cr, CrN, or
CrN/Cr multilayer coatings were irradiated in Ar or flowing PWR water in the Massachusetts …

Understanding the effects of chemical complexity from the number, type and concentration of
alloying elements in single-phase concentred solid-solution alloys (SP-CSAs) on defect …

The threshold displacement energy (TDE) is an important measure of the extent of a
material's radiation damage. In this study, we investigate the influence of hydrostatic strains …

A comparison of gamma ray attenuation effectiveness of bulk aluminum, close-cell
composite metal foams and open-cell aluminum foam infiltrated with variety of second phase …
