Abstract:Materials applied in nuclear environments such as fission or fusion power-plants face severe conditions. The irradiation by neutrons induces thermal loads and irradiation damage. Furthermore, coolants in contact with the materials induce corrosion, which is particularly challenging for liquid salts intended for the next generation of fission reactors. A new device (DICE) is installed at the 3.5 MV accelerator at DIFFER for the accelerated testing of such materials under combined irradiation and corrosion condi… Show more
