Change in macrostructure and porosity of graphite on prolonged irradiation

Description

This work studies the variation in the microstructure of strongly irradiated reactor-grade graphite samples by mercury porosimetry, optical microscopy, and x-ray analysis. The chief characteristics of the samples are listed. Experimental study of the nature of porous and crystal structure of reactor graphite show that prolonged neutron irradiation at 360 and 1220 degrees K up to a luence of 1022 neutrons/cm2 causes marked irreversible changes in the graphite macrostructure
