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).

Fundamental measurements have been obtained to deduce the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity for fine-grain G-348 isostatic graphite, which has been used in thermal experiments related to gas-cooled nuclear reactors. Measurements of thermal diffusivity, mass, volume, and thermal expansion were converted to thermal conductivity. Resulting correlations for the thermal conductivity and thermal expansion are presented as functions of temperature from laboratory temperature to 1000°C.
