2014 ANNUAL REPORT 35 The Positronium Annihilation Lifetime Spectrometer located in the PULSTAR reactor facility on the NC State North Campus in Raleigh N.C. The Scanning Electron Microscope in Oak Ridge National Laboratorys LAMDA facility. A hot cell in the Radiochemistry Processing Laboratory at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The Electron Microscopy Labora- tory EML is dedicated to materials characterization primarily using transmission electron scanning electron and optical microscopy.The EML also houses a dual-beam FIB that allows examination and small-sample preparation of radioactive materials. Center for Advanced Energy Studies Microscopy and Characterization Suite The MaCS is equipped to handle low- level radiological samples as well as non-radiological samples. MaCS offers several high-end pieces of equipment including a local electrode atom probe LEAP automated hardness tester scanning electron microscope SEM nano indenter and atomic force microscopeTEM and focused ion beam. North Carolina State University Nuclear Services Laboratories Post-irradiation examination capa- bilities at NCSUs Nuclear Services Laboratories include neutron activa- tion analysis radiography and imaging capabilities and positron spectrometry. Oak Ridge National Laboratory Hot Cells Radiological Laboratories LAMDA Facility ORNL hot cells and radiological laboratories offer a wide variety of research and development and production capabilities from radiochemistry and isotope packaging to materials testing to irradiated fuels examination. Facilities include the Irradiated Materials Examination and Testing IMET facility Irradiated Fuels Examination Laboratory IFEL and Radiochemical Engineering Development Center REDC. The Low Activation Materials Development and Analysis LAMDA Laboratory added in 2012 offers post- irradiation examination capabilities including refractory element test stands for tensile testing optical and scanning electron microscopes and thermal diffusivity and density measurement equipment. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Radiochemistry Processing Laboratory Materials Science and Technology Laboratory The RPL and the Materials Science andTechnology Laboratory MSTL offer a wide range of specialized equipment for handling and testing fuels and materials. Capabilities include experiment hardware design fabrication and assembly testing facilities for both nonradioactive and radioactive structural materials and the advanced characterization of unirradiated and irradiated fuels and materials using instruments including TEM SEM and optical microscopy.
