<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 />
