<strong>Diffuse</strong> microdiffraction holds<br />
promise for irradiated materials<br />
• Powerful single crystal techniques<br />
applied to polycrystals<br />
• ~4-6 Orders of magnitude lower activity<br />
– Safer/lower backgrounds<br />
• Cryocooled samples to study initial<br />
defects<br />
• New information about<br />
point/line/mesoscale defect interactions<br />
Successful demonstration experiments!<br />
