Abstract
Understanding the microstructure-property correlation is critical for the performance evaluation of in-service materials and the development of advanced materials for nuclear reactor applications. Experimental studies are challenging for nuclear materials which are often hazardous. Recent developments in high-energy synchrotron X-ray (HEX) techniques offer the potential to address this challenge, by providing direct observations of internal responses to external stimuli in bulk-like materials, through in situ or 3D measurements. In this review, developments in HEX techniques are introduced and recent applications in nuclear materials are presented. The results offer unprecedented insights into materials performance and provide unique input to computational models.
