The Impact of Mobile Point Defect Clusters in a Kinetic Model of Pressure Vessel Embrittlement
The results of recent molecular dynamics simulations of displacement cascades in iron indicate that small interstitial clusters may have a very low activation energy for migration, and that their migration is 1 -dimensional, rather than 3-dimensional. The mobility of these clusters can have a significant impact on the predictions of radiation damage models, particularly at the relatively low te...
متن کاملRadiation Embrittlement Prediction Models and The Impact of Irradiation Temperature
A new methodology is developed for the prediction of RPV embrittlement that utilizes a combination of domain models and nonlinear estimators including neural networks and nearest neighbor regressions. The Power Reactor Embrittlement Database is used in this study. The results from newly developed nearest neighbor projective fuser indicate that the combined embrittlement predictor achieved about...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Active Infrared Thermography for Non-Destructive Testing of Aerospace Components
Active infrared thermography is a fast and accurate non-destructive evaluation technique that is of particular relevance to the aerospace industry for the inspection of aircraft and helicopters' primary and secondary structures, aero-engine parts, spacecraft components and its subsystems. This review provides an exhaustive summary of most recent active thermographic methods used for aerospace a...
متن کاملAn Assessment of Remote Visual Methods to Detect Cracking in Reactor Components
Recently, the U.S. nuclear industry has proposed replacing current volumetric and/or surface examinations of certain components in commercial nuclear power plants, as required by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section XI, “Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components,” with a simpler visual testing (VT) method. The advantages of VT are tha...
متن کاملUltrasonic-assisted Method for Preparation of Cu-doped ZnS Nanoparticles in Water as a Highly Efficient Visible Light Photocatalyst
Ultrasonic-assisted method was applied for preparation of Cu+2-doped ZnS nanoparticles (mole fractions of Cu+2 ions are 0.000, 0.015, 0.030 and 0.060) in water as a template-free and green method at 30 min. The prepared nanoparticles were investigated by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS)...
