Product Description

In the area of Material Physics and Engineering, one focus area is the understanding of radiation damage in materials used in the reactor. This is an important area since the Swedish plants are aiming for plant life extension (PLEX). The Swedish reactor pressure vessel welds often have a slightly higher nickel content than similar vessels in other countries. The effect of the nickel content on the irradiation damage, as well as the combined effects of nickel and manganese needs to be clarified.

A project is underway at KTH to model the impact of radiation. At Chalmers, a project is planned to use positron annihilation measurements for material characterisation. This will give a broader understanding than just the impact of radiation – the impact of environmental factors and fatigue can also be understood better. Another area of focus is an understanding of the process for initiation of stress corrosion cracking. This is a combination of material condition, environment, stress and ageing of both the material and oxide.

Focus is also on ageing of materials (metals) with regard to the changing of microstructure and mechanical properties. Finally, Fuel Technology is also an investigation area as described separately.
