The European Spallation Source Active Cells Facility is a unique facility for processing highly radioactive
waste produced by the experiment. Due to the levels of radiation produced by the waste components combined
with the scale of operations, the facility was designed to be operated without windows, using robotic manipulation
systems and camer…
Zirconium alloys are widely used as the fuel cladding material in pressurised water reactors where a significant population of defects and dislocations is produced by exposure to neutrons. We present and interpret synchrotron microbeam X-ray diffraction measurements of proton- irradiated Zircaloy-4, where we identify a transient peak and the sub…
