Cooperative Radiation Effects Simulation Program.
Abstract
The Cooperative Radiation Effects Simulation Program (CORES) is a collaborative effort of the Engineering Materials and Radiation Technology Divisions of NRL materials and General Sciences Area. The goal of the research is to provide the theoretical and experimental bases for understanding the mechanisms of nuclear radiation damage of metals, as well as a theoretical insight into energy deposition processes. In this the Van de Graaff and Cyclotron are used to simulate rapidly the radiation damage produced over long periods in reactor neutron environments. Progress for this period includes: (1) the effect of focus on void and bubble size measurement by electron microscopy; (2) ultra-high-vacuum target furnace for heavy- ion irradiations; (3) a comparison of the swelling produced in nickel by neutron irradiation and by ion bombardment; (4) profiling light element concentrations by nuclear techniques; (5) transient ion-simulated irradiation-induced creep of nickel; and (6) displacement damage calculation procedures.
