Chemical complexity promises improved structural alloys for next-gen nuclear energy

Chemical complexity promises improved structural alloys for next-gen nuclear energy
Oak Ridge TN (SPX) Nov 04, 2015 - Designing alloys to withstand extreme environments is a fundamental challenge for materials scientists. Energy from radiation can create imperfections in alloys, so researchers in an Energy Frontier Research Center led by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are investigating ways to design structural materials that develop fewer, smaller flaws under irradiation. The ke ... morehttp://www.nuclearpowerdaily.com/reports/Chemical_complexity_promises_improved_structural_alloys_for_next_gen_nuclear_energy_999.html
