Download or read book Polymer Derived Silicon Carbide Ceramics for Nuclear Applications written by Shelly Arreguin and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The next generation of nuclear fission and fusion reactors depends upon the development of high performance structural materials. Silicon carbide (SiC) is being considered for a variety of nuclear reactor components because it possesses outstanding physical and chemical properties, including: high thermal conductivity, high temperature stability, chemical inertness, extreme hardness and small neutron capture cross-section. However, when exposed to energetic particles, SiC is observed to experience various radiation induced defects such as: vacancy clusters, dislocation loops and network dislocations at lower temperatures and swelling of the material causing voids/cavities at higher temperatures. Recent studies have shown nanostructured interfaces and nanoscale grains are more radiation damage tolerant. Polymer derived ceramics (PDCs) provide a unique route to develop SiC ceramics with nanostructural features that can help mitigate radiation defects. A novel class of SiC ceramics with controlled microstructures has been developed through tailoring of the molecular architecture of the starting precursor (allylhydridopolycarbosilane, Starfire® SMP-10). Nanostructural features in the form of graphene layers were incorporated via excess carbon from the addition of divinylbenzene (0-5 wt%) to the liquid SMP-10. It was observed that with increasing concentration of carbon, the 6H SiC (hexagonal) phase formed at the expense of 3C SiC (cubic). The utilization of PDCs also made possible the addition of sintering additives at the molecular level through a hydroboration reaction of SMP-10 with decaborane. This allowed the boron additives to be contained within the SiC grains, as opposed to on the grain boundaries, as is observed in traditional ceramic processing. Finally, these materials were irradiated using ion accelerator facilities located at the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. AFM results indicate that utilizing PDC processing routes vs. traditional ceramic routes yielded a significant decrease in the amount of swelling from point defect accumulation due to radiation bombardment. This research contributes to current priorities in designing materials for the next generation of nuclear power plants that are anticipated to have minimal waste, decreased risk of proliferation and increased accident damage tolerance.

Download or read book Calculations for Isotopically tailored Ceramics in Fission and Fusion Reactors written by and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information and understanding of the response of a ceramic at dpa and gas production rates near those expected at the first wall of a fusion reactor can be obtained by an experiment in a fission reactor to irradiate an isotopically tailored sample of the ceramic. To aid in the design of such an experiment, we have made calculations to determine the amount of 15N and 17O needed in Si3Al3O3N5 and 17O needed in Al2O3 to simulate the behavior of these ceramics in the first wall of the STARFIRE fusion reactor by exposure in the HFIR reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The calculations were performed using a code developed at Hanford Engineering Development Laboratory, and the gas production and damage nuclear data needed were produced with a Los Alamos code. Although the damage data are more appropriate for metals, it is assumed that the comparison of the gas-to-damage ratios in the two reactors is valid. Calculations indicate that 57% 17O and 90.6% 15N in sialon and 17.9% 17O in alumina would be adequate for the simulation.
