Measurements of adhesion force between single particles and clusters interacting with some VHTR structural steels
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)The adhesion force and work of adhesion between aerosols (graphite and silver) generated in very high temperature reactors (VHTRs) and interacting with structural materials are presented. The method involves using Atomic ... -
Oxidation behavior of very high temperature reactor (VHTR) candidate materials: 316l stainless steel, Alloy 617, and Incoloy-800H
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)High temperature nuclear reactors require alloys to perform well at temperatures around 1000 to 1400 K. The oxidation behavior of three high temperature reactor candidate materials, 316 L stainless steel, alloy 617, and ... -
Oxidation of nuclear- and matrix-grade graphite for VHTR air ingress accident scenarios
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)One of the most severe accidents anticipated for the Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) is an air ingress accident caused by a pipe break, where the reactor vessel and core become fully immersed in air as the core ...
