Description

The objective of this work was to provide the neutronic design for materials irradiation experiments in the Oak Ridge Research Reactor (ORR). Spectral tailoring to control the fast and thermal fluxes is required to provide the desired displacement and helium production rates in alloys containing nickel. The calculated fluences from the ongoing three-dimensional neutronics calculations are being scaled to agree with experimental data. As of March 27, 1984, this treatment yields 158.5 at. ppm He (not including 2.0 at. ppm He from 10B) and 10.36 dpa for type 316 stainless steel in ORR-MFE-4A and 99.4 at. ppm He and 7.10 dpa in ORR-MFE-4B
