Book Description
Characteristics of neutron induced radioactivities for low activation materials in a deuterium-tritium fusion power reactor were investigated. The criteria for the assessment of low activation materials were reviewed. Candidate structural materials, namely vanadium alloy (V5CR5Ti), ferritic steel (modified HT9), and SiC composite material, and tungsten divertor material were considered in the evaluation. The assessment of these candidate materials for fusion reactor applications was made based on the issues of waste disposal, maintenance, afterheat, accidental dose release, and materials recycling. The significance of impurity elements and their levels was addressed using the recently updated activation cross sections.

Book Description
Operating at a high level of fuel efficiency, safety, proliferation-resistance, sustainability and cost, generation IV nuclear reactors promise enhanced features to an energy resource which is already seen as an outstanding source of reliable base load power. The performance and reliability of materials when subjected to the higher neutron doses and extremely corrosive higher temperature environments that will be found in generation IV nuclear reactors are essential areas of study, as key considerations for the successful development of generation IV reactors are suitable structural materials for both in-core and out-of-core applications. Structural Materials for Generation IV Nuclear Reactors explores the current state-of-the art in these areas. Part One reviews the materials, requirements and challenges in generation IV systems. Part Two presents the core materials with chapters on irradiation resistant austenitic steels, ODS/FM steels and refractory metals amongst others. Part Three looks at out-of-core materials. Structural Materials for Generation IV Nuclear Reactors is an essential reference text for professional scientists, engineers and postgraduate researchers involved in the development of generation IV nuclear reactors. Introduces the higher neutron doses and extremely corrosive higher temperature environments that will be found in generation IV nuclear reactors and implications for structural materials Contains chapters on the key core and out-of-core materials, from steels to advanced micro-laminates Written by an expert in that particular area

Book Description
The V-7.2Cr-14.5Ti, V-9.2Cr-4.9Ti, V-9.9Cr-9.2Ti, V-13.5Cr-5.2Ti, V-4.1Cr-4.3Ti, Vanstar-7, V-4.6Ti, V-17.7Ti, and V-3.1Ti-(0.5-1.0)Si alloys were evaluated for use as structural material in a fusion reactor. The alloys were evaluated on the basis of their yield strength, swelling resistance, resistance to hydrogen and irradiation embrittlement, and compatibility with a lithium reactor coolant. On the basis of these evaluations, the V-7.2Cr-14.5Ti, V-9.2Cr-4.9Ti, V-9.9Cr-9.2Ti, V-13.5Cr-5.2Ti, Vanstar-7, and V-3.1Ti-(0.5-1.0)Si alloys are considered unacceptable for structural material in a fusion reactor, whereas the V-4.1Cr-4.3Ti, V-4.6Ti, and V-17.7Ti alloys are recommended for more intensive evaluation. The V-7Cr-5Ti alloy may have the optimum combination of strength, DBTT, swelling rate, and lithium dissolution rate for a structural material in a fusion reactor. 4 refs., 6 figs., 4 tabs.

Book Description
The potential for using fusion energy to produce commercial electric power was first explored in the 1950s. Harnessing fusion energy offers the prospect of a nearly carbon-free energy source with a virtually unlimited supply of fuel. Unlike nuclear fission plants, appropriately designed fusion power plants would not produce the large amounts of high-level nuclear waste that requires long-term disposal. Due to these prospects, many nations have initiated research and development (R&D) programs aimed at developing fusion as an energy source. Two R&D approaches are being explored: magnetic fusion energy (MFE) and inertial fusion energy (IFE). An Assessment of the Prospects for Inertial Fusion Energy describes and assesses the current status of IFE research in the United States; compares the various technical approaches to IFE; and identifies the scientific and engineering challenges associated with developing inertial confinement fusion (ICF) in particular as an energy source. It also provides guidance on an R&D roadmap at the conceptual level for a national program focusing on the design and construction of an inertial fusion energy demonstration plant.
