Modeling fast neutron irradiation damage accumulation in tungsten

Due to its advantageous physical properties, tungsten (W) is being considered as a candidate structural material in fusion applications. In this paper, we perform stochastic cluster dynamics calculations of irradiation damage accumulation in pure W under fast neutron spectra in up to doses of 1.5 dpa in the 400∼600◦C interval. Our calculations suggest that He bubbles and dislocation loops accum...

Silicon Carbide Neutron Detectors

The potential of Silicon Carbide (SiC) for use in semiconductor nuclear radiation detectors has been long recognized. In fact, the first SiC neutron detector was demonstrated more than fifty years ago (Babcock, et al., 1957; Babcock & Chang, 1963). This detector was shown to be operational in limited testing at temperatures up to 700 oC. Unfortunately, further development was limited by the poo...
