Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ceramics are required for a number of applications in fusion reactors. In several of these applications, the thermal conductivity is an important design parameter as it affects the level of temperature and thermal stress in service. Ceramic insulators are known to suffer substantial reduction in thermal conductivity due to neutron irradiation damage. The present study estimates the reduction in thermal conductivity at high temperature due to radiation induced defects. Point, extended, and extended partly transparent defects are considered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is to assess the effects of heavy-ion irradiation on the durability of pyrochlore-rich baseline ceramics and single-phase pyrochlore, zirconolite and brannerite ceramics. Development of a titanate-based crystalline ceramic form to immobilize surplus weapons-useable plutonium for disposition is the mission of the Plutonium Immobilization Project (PIP). A major development and testing activity for this program is performance testing and qualification of the wasteform for a repository. As part of the performance testing, the leaching behavior of the ceramic form must be evaluated to determine the anticipated repository behavior. To study the impact of radiation damage on the performance of the ceramic, the damage must be accelerated using techniques such as 238Pu doping and ion irradiation. The purpose of this report is to assess the effects of heavy-ion irradiation on the durability of pyrochlore-rich baseline ceramics and single-phase pyrochlore, zirconolite and brannerite ceramics. Ion irradiation of ceramic pellet surfaces will transform the outermost several tenths of microns of the surface into a metamict (i.e., noncrystalline) state. Short-term monolithic leach tests on unirradiated and irradiated samples should elucidate any significant differences in the durability of the undamaged crystalline surface versus the damaged metamict surface. Data developed under this task will support a preliminary integrated data report to be supplied to the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (RW) for use in the license application for the candidate Yucca Mountain repository.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current book consists of eighteen chapters divided into three sections. Section I includes nine topics in characterization techniques and evaluation of advanced ceramics dealing with newly developed photothermal, ultrasonic and ion spattering techniques, the neutron irradiation and the properties of ceramics, the existence of a polytypic multi-structured boron carbide, the oxygen isotope exchange between gases and nanoscale oxides and the evaluation of perovskite structures ceramics for sensors and ultrasonic applications. Section II includes six topics in raw materials, processes and mechanical and other properties of conventional and advanced ceramic materials, dealing with the evaluation of local raw materials and various types and forms of wastes for ceramics production, the effect of production parameters on ceramic properties, the evaluation of dental ceramics through application parameters and the reinforcement of ceramics by fibers. Section III, includes three topics in degradation, aging and healing of ceramic materials, dealing with the effect of granite waste addition on artificial and natural degradation bricks, the effect of aging, micro-voids, and self-healing on mechanical properties of glass ceramics and the crack-healing ability of structural ceramics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This final technical report documents the accomplishments of the program of research entitled Radiation Disorder and Aperiodicity in Irradiated Ceramics'' for the period June 22, 1989--June 21, 1992. This research forms the latest part on an on-going program, begun at MIT in 1983 under DOE support, which has had as its objectives investigation of the responses in radiation environments of ceramics heavily-irradiated with electrons, neutrons and ions, with potential applications to fusion energy technology and high-level nuclear waste storage. Materials investigated have included SiO2, MgAl2O4, Al23O2--N5, SiC, BeO, LiAlO2, Li2ZrO3, CaTiO3KTaO3 and Ca(Zr, Pu)Ti2O--. The program initially proposed for 1989 had as its major objectives two main thrusts: (1) research on defect aggregation in irradiated non-oxide ceramics, and (2) research on irradiation-induced amorphization of network silicas and phosphates.
