Cooperative Radiation Effects Simulation Program.
Abstract
The Cooperative Radiation Effects Simulation Program (CORES) is a collaborative effort of the Material Science and Technology and the Radiation Technology Divisions of the NRL Material Science and Component Technology 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 September 1978 to 31 August 1979, includes: (1) the effect of Ni+ion bombardment on nickel and binary nickel alloys was investigated at 675 C, 625 C and 525 C and compared with neutron irradiation at 455 C; (2) the microstructures of titanium scoping alloys following low fluence neutron at 450 C were studied by transmission electron microscopy; and (3) X-ray diffraction measurements of early stages of radiation damage in metals was studied in single crystal and polycrystalline Cu specimens.
