Reduced activation ferritic martensitic (RAFM) and oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS)
steels are the most promising candidates for fusion first-wall/blanket (FW/B) structures. The …

To cope with the shortcomings of nuclear fuel design exposed during the Fukushima
Nuclear Accident, researchers around the world have been directing their studies towards …

Tungsten, the primary material under consideration as the divertor material in magnetic-
confinement nuclear fusion reactors, has been known for the last decade to form'fuzz'—a …

FeCrAl alloy is one of the promising cladding materials in the advanced nuclear reactors.
Here we compare the irradiation response of the nanolaminate (NL) and coarse-grained …

Three ferritic/martensitic alloys were studied to understand the synergistic effect between
single ion beam (Fe 2+), dual ion beam (Fe 2++ He 2+ and Fe 2++ H+), and triple ion beam …

Cavity swelling, due to three-dimensional clustering of vacancies, is an undesirable isotropic
volume expansion of materials under irradiation. This phenomenon occurs above stage-III …

Helium bubble formation was examined by scanning/transmission electron microscopy
(S/TEM) in Fe-9/10Cr binary alloys and two dispersion strengthened nanostructured alloys …

The phased development and component testing mission of the Fusion Nuclear Science
Facility (FNSF) implies a unique scenario for the development of structural and plasma …

In a magnetic fusion energy (MFE) device, the plasma-facing materials (PFMs) will be
subjected to tremendous fluxes of ions, heat, and neutrons. The response of PFMs to the …

The Moon's surface is directly exposed to the space environment and subject to alteration by
space weathering. One agent of space weathering, the solar wind, enriches the lunar …
