Coolant-facing alloys in a tokamak will face harsh environments due to the synergistic effect of flowing coolant, mechanical cyclic loadings, and ionising radiation. Reduced activation ferritic/martensitic (RAF/M) EUROFER-97 is one of the top structural alloys selected to be used in fusion, however it was not designed to have excellent corrosi…

The status of research and development on vanadium alloys and on their application as a structural material in the breeder blanket of a fusion power plant are reviewed. Emphasis has been placed on irradiation experiments and the effects of neutron and ion irradiation on the microstructure of the current reference alloy, V-4Cr-4Ti. The effects of a …

UKAEA-CCFE-PR(19)012018
The effects of radiation damage on materials are strongly dependant on temperature, making it arguably the most significant parameter of concern in nuclear engineering. Owing to the challenges and expense of irradiating and testing materials, material property data is often limited to few irradiation conditions and material variants. A new techniqu…
