Abstract

Progress during the period 1 Jan. 1975 to 31 Dec. 1975 is reported for a study of radiation damage in molybdenum. This work was part of an interlaboratory study of the major variables influencing the measurement of swelling by transmission electron microscopy in specimens bombarded by charged particles. Results presented describe the development of a Mo(+) ion beam for the Van de Graaff, bombardment of the specimens, TEM characterization of the microstructures to determine swelling, a comparison of the results with those of other sites employing heavy ion bombardment, TEM characterization of four specimens of molybdenum irradiated in EBR-II to fluences of approximately 1 x 10 to the 22nd power n/sq cm E > 0.1 MeV, and comparison with other neutron irradiation results reported in the literature.
