NEA irradiation system ready to deploy at MITR
A new irradiation experimental system is ready for deployment. The rig, which is the focus of In-Core Real-Time Mechanical Testing of Structural Materials (INCREASE-I), an OECD Nuclear Energy Agency project, will be used to conduct stress-relaxation tests of stainless steel at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Reactor (MITR), according to the OECD NEA.

If in-vessel components in a fusion device are made of two or more different materials, materials mixing will take place via erosion and redeposition. Such materials mixing can alter surface characteristics significantly, which then impacts on the plasma interactions behavior. This is particularly true if low-Z and high-Z materials are mixed up, where Z is the atomic number. Discussed in this report are the dynamic compatibilities between these materials under DT-plasma particle bombardment.
