Abstract
The University of Wisconsin-Madison facility for simulating neutron damage to potential reactor materials is described. Heavy metal ions from a tandem accelerator bombard metal specimens heated as high as 1000°C at pressures below 10 −8 torr. Special feautures of the facility include a radiation heater assembly which allows integration of the beam current, an ultra high vacuum environment which is characterized by partial pressure analysis, use of 15–20 MeV heavy metal ions to induce the damage in the specimens, and direct measurement of the beam composition. This facility is suitable for studying radiation effects in the refractory metals as well as other potential reactor materials.
