Liquid lead (Pb)-and lead–bismuth eutectic (LBE)-cooled fast neutron reactors (Gen-IV
LFRs) are one of the most technologically mature fission reactor technologies, due to their …

The next generation of nuclear reactors will expose materials to conditions that, in some
cases, are even more extreme than those in current fission reactors, inevitably leading to …

The effects of ionizing radiation on materials often reduce to “bad news”. Radiation damage
usually leads to detrimental effects such as embrittlement, accelerated creep, phase …

The effect of gamma-rays on structural, optical and photocatalytic properties of TiO 2
nanoparticles under controlled atmospheres are studied to further improve photocatalytic …

In-situ proton irradiation/lead-bismuth eutectic corrosion synergistic effect on corrosion
behaviour of 11Cr1W1Si ferritic/martensitic steel was investigated. The result indicated that …

The synergistic effect of simultaneous proton irradiation and LBE corrosion on FeCrAlTi
coating is investigated, and the surface morphology, elementary composition, microstructure …

Post-irradiation evaluation was performed on a 316 stainless steel baffle former bolt
harvested after 40 years of service in a pressurized water reactor. Microstructure analysis …

The synergistic effect of irradiation and Lead Bismuth Eutectic (LBE) corrosion on structural
materials is of vital importance for the research and development of future lead cooled …

Molten salt fission and fusion reactors hold promise for large-scale, carbon-free power
generation, but only if the combined effects of simultaneous irradiation and corrosion on …

High-temperature helium ion irradiation was conducted on a nickel-based alloy at 650° C. A
unique outward migration of helium bubbles was observed in the irradiated alloy under …
