Abstract

The impact of solid transmutant generation and temperature transients during irradiation are new research subjects for application of fission neutron irradiation data to fusion materials development. Fundamental research for these issues is in progress, and includes such approaches as alloying the transmutant elements before irradiation and varying temperature irradiation with charged particles. In addition, novel uses of fission reactors are under way using neutron spectral changes to control solid transmutation, and highly controlled periodically-variable temperature irradiation. The understanding of microstructural processes in such complex and the variable irradiation conditions is growing.
