Cooperative Radiation Effects Simulation Program.
Abstract
The Cooperation 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 the period 1 March 1977 - 31 August 1977, includes: (1) the completion of a semiautomatic system for the analysis of transmission electron micrographs, (2) profiling hydrogen and helium in parts per million concentration by elastic scattering techniques, and (3) the microstructural characterization of stress and ion-induced transient creep in cold-worked nickel and its comparisons with predictions of creep models.
