HELIUM GENERATION RATES IN ISOTOPICALLY TAILORED FE-CR-NI ALLOYS IRRADIATED IN FFTF MOTA

[摘要] Three Fe-Cr-Ni alloys have been doped with 0.4% Ni-59 for side-by-side irradiations of doped and undoped materials in order to determine the effects of fusion-relevant levels of helium production on microstructural development and mechanical properties. The alloys were irradiated in three successive cycles of the Materials Open Test Assembly (MOTA) located in the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF). Following irradiation, helium levels were measured by isotope dilution mass spectrometry. The highest level of helium achieved in doped alloys was 172 appm at 9.1 dpa for a helium(appm)-to-dpa ratio of 18.9. The overall pattern of predicted helium generation rates in doped and undoped alloys is in good agreement with the helium measurements.
