Nuclear Science User Facilities 70 Characterization on the Bor-60 Neutron Irradiated Austenitic Stainless Steels and Cast Stainless Steel YongYang – University of Florida – yongyang@ufl.edu The work was planned to system- ically characterize the 316 SA and 304 SA stainless steels and CF‑3 cast stainless steels irradiated to 45 dpa at 320°C in the Bor-60 reactor. Both transmission electron microscopy and atom probe tomography were used to study the irradiated induced nano-sized features, including disloca- tion, phase separation, and precipi- tates.The output from the execution of proposed study fills the existing knowledge gap by providing a more systematic study, at an atomic level, on neutron irradiation effects in light water reactor (LWR) internal struc- tural materials at LWR relevant condi- tions. By correlating the microstruc- ture study with selected mechanical tests, this proposed research provides a fundamental understanding of the response of austenitic stainless steels, cast stainless steel (welds) during the designed 40-year reactor life, and, more relevantly, during the extended life of 60 years and beyond.
