High-gradient magnetic filtration (HGMF) is a non-destructive separation technique that captures magnetic constituents from a matrix containing other non-magnetic species. One characteristic that actinide metals share across much of the group is that they are magnetic.
A pressure burst feature has been designed and demonstrated for relieving potentially hazardous excess pressure within irradiation capsules used in the ORNL High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR).
V-Cr-Ti alloys have been proposed as candidate structural materials in fusion reactor blanket concepts with operation temperatures greater than that for reduced activation ferritic martensitic steels (RAFMs).
Sintering additives to improve densification and microstructure control of UN provides a facile approach to producing high quality nuclear fuels.
With the ever-growing reliance on batteries, the need for the chemicals and materials to produce these batteries is also growing accordingly. One area of critical concern is the need for high quality graphite to ensure adequate energy storage capacity and battery stability.
Test facilities to evaluate materials compatibility in hydrogen are abundant for high pressure and low temperature (<100C).
Pyrolysis evolved gas analysis – mass spectrometry (EGA-MS) and pyrolysis gas chromatography – MS (GC-MS) – are powerful analytical tools for polymer characterization.
A bonded carbon fiber monolith was made using a coal-based pitch precursor without a binder.
The first wall and blanket of a fusion energy reactor must maintain structural integrity and performance over long operational periods under neutron irradiation and minimize long-lived radioactive waste.
We have developed an aerosol sampling technique to enable collection of trace materials such as actinides in the atmosphere.
