High Temperature Irradiation (Planned)<br />
• Motivation<br />
– Radiation damage is controlled by a thermally<br />
activated processes, so some temperature<br />
control is desirable<br />
• Planned Work<br />
– Neutronics/gamma heating calculations<br />
– Thermal hydraulics calculations (safety case)<br />
– Can design and T&C specifications<br />
Muroga (2001)<br />
OPAL contains empty space (“hot<br />
source”) in the RPV. By developing a<br />
suitable holder (such as the ORNL<br />
HFIR sample heating holder, left),<br />
samples may be irradiated in OPAL at<br />
higher temperatures, thereby enabling<br />
elevated-temperature damage mechanisms<br />
to be characterised.
