Behaviour of Ion-modified Cladding Tubes from E110 Alloy in High-temperature Water Steam
Abstract
Beryllium materials are widely used in science and technology. They are of importance both for nuclear and thermonuclear energy applications. Additionally, metallic beryllium is transparent to x-ray radiation and used in the manufacture of X-ray windows and refractive x-ray lenses. SC “VNIINM” has developed beryllium materials
for various purposes: for coating of the ITER’s first wall, for focusing and controlling X-ray radiation. Porous beryllium is of particular interest as it is an upcoming trend as a temper and neutron multiplier in blankets of thermonuclear facilities. A unique combination of X-ray optical properties also makes it possible to use porous beryllium in imaging devices in a synchrotron radiation beam (speckle suppressor).
