Associate principal researcher, 1 person
Research field
(1)Research field:
Research and development for improving nuclear safety
(2)Research theme
Research and development for improving nuclear safety
Experimental research of microscopic evaluation of irradiation effects on nuclear material properties
(Summary)
Cladding and structural materials used in nuclear power plants deteriorate due to neutron irradiation and other severe environments. Our group, Nuclear Science and Engineering Center, Nuclear Science Research Institute, engages in developing the evaluation and prediction methods for materials behavior used in order to improve the safety nuclear systems.
We aim to clarify the fundamental properties and the mechanisms of deterioration of structural materials under various environments of nuclear systems.
This theme focuses on experimental studies to elucidate the mechanisms of neutron irradiation-induced changes in strength properties and degradation of accident-tolerant fuel claddings and structural materials used in nuclear power systems. In particular, recipient will focus on the relationship between the mechanical properties of metallic materials and vacancies, and will lead microscopic evaluations by positron annihilation spectrometry, and will also utilize computational methods to advance nuclear materials research.
