Description

The USA DOE Advanced Reactor Technologies (ART) graphite R&D program supporting HTR design is one of the longest running nuclear graphite R&D programs. Significant progress has been made in several areas of research within this extensive program including unirradiated and irradiated testing of nuclear graphite, oxidation results and modeling, fracture behavior, irradiation damage studies, and several international collaboration studies. The latest results in these research areas as well as a discussion of a new direction in nuclear graphite irradiation for the USA program will be presented. Recently, the USA made a decision to support moderate to high dose irradiation of nuclear graphite (0.5 to 15 dpa). The irradiation plan and a tentative schedule for this new irradiation direction will be presented in detail. (author)
