Abstract

Single variable experiments are being conducted to study effects of H/He/dpa on properties based on isotopically tailored alloys. 54Fe has been used to prepare an isotopically tailored duplicate of the commercial steel F82H, and a small number of TEM disks have been irradiated in order to study radiation embrittlement. From single disk specimens, mechanical properties were obtained using a shear punch technique that produces a 1 mm blank from the 3 mm disk, and microstructural information was obtained from the 1 mm blanks thinned to electron transparency.
