Abstract

The effect of high temperature neutron irradiation on the ability of a Pd–Ag mixture to penetrate 3C–SiC has been investigated. Previous work has revealed enhanced Ag transport in SiC in the presence of the fission product Pd. In this work it has been shown that high temperature neutron irradiation leads to enhanced transport of this Pd–Ag mixture as compared to unirradiated material and that both high irradiation temperature and high neutron fluence is required for significant transport enhancement. The results suggest that grain boundary type and misorientation is not significantly altered by high temperature neutron irradiation, suggesting that these characteristics play only a secondary role in Pd–Ag transport.
