Abstract

Abstract Up to four irradiation tensile creep tests are planned for the target region of the high flux isotope reactor on two graphite grades: PCEA and NBG-18. The initial experiment is designed for an irradiation temperature of 600 °C and at fluences between 1 × 1022 n/cm2 and 1.4 × 1022 n/cm2 (E > 50 keV).
