Events

The talk will introduce how the internal structures of nuclear graphite determine its properties and performance in nuclear applications, including the effects of irradiation, temperature and oxidation, with an emphasis on its fracture and structural integrity. This leads to a summary of recent work using modern materials characterisation, testing and modelling techniques to investigate the deformation mechanisms and fracture properties of graphites, for both graphite in the ageing AGR (advanced gas-cooled reactors) and new graphites proposed for next-generation and advanced nuclear systems. 

Presented by: Professor James Marrow, Professor in Energy Materials, University of Oxford
