OECD NEA meeting focuses on irradiation experiments
Members of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency’s Second Framework for Irradiation Experiments (FIDES-II) joint undertaking gathered from September 29 to October 3 in Ketchum, Idaho, for the technical advisory group and governing board meetings hosted by Idaho National Laboratory. The FIDES-II Framework aims to ensure and foster competences in experimental nuclear fuel and structural materials in-reactor experiments through a diverse set of Joint Experimental Programs (JEEPs).

A simple method to measure the change in length of a silicon carbide temperature monitor due to annealing is presented. A differential dilatometer is used to detect the change in length of an irradiated specimen as the temperature of the specimen is raised in steps. The results obtained by this step-heating dilatometry method are in good agreement with measurements obtained with an X-ray diffractometer and a micrometer.
