An Investigation To Establish Multiphysical Property Dataset of Nuclear Materials Based on In- Situ Observations and Measurements, NEAMS: Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation – Purdue University
CX(s) Applied: B3.6
Date: 41862
Location(s): Indiana
Offices(s): Nuclear Energy
Purdue University proposes to investigate the prediction of microstructure feature change as a function of irradiation energy using insitu observation through in-situ ion irradiation transmission electron microscope experiments, measurement of change in thermal and mechanical properties under simulated reactor loads as a function of microstructure using in-situ TEM experiments, measurement of thermal and mechanical properties as a function of change in loading, temperature, and environment with an account of nanoscale to micron scale feature sizes in unirradiated and irradiated microstructures using nano- and micromechanical surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy measurements, and establishing microstructure-property correlation based on experimental data including uncertainty quantification. The samples will be based on Zircaloy-4 and Zircaloy-2.
