The remote handling system is an important part of the target station and an important guarantee for the safe, stable and efficient operation of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) facility. Since CSNS formal operation began in 2018, the remote handling system has generally been operating well and a significant amount of remote handling operations have been successfully completed for...
The CSNS target operates in a composite environment of high-energy protons 1.6GeV and fast neutrons meV~GeV, and the evaluation of its operating status is crucial. In order to study the irradiation damage of the target, especially to provide more data for power upgrade, the CSNS target station PIE team has developed a small sample teleoperation preparation and mechanical properties testing...
JAEA has been developing accelerator-driven systems (ADS) for nuclear transmutation to reduce the volume and hazardousness of high-level radioactive waste generated by nuclear power plants. In order to prepare the material irradiation database necessary for the design of ADS and to study the irradiation effects of candidate structural materials for ADS in liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE)...
In this talk, we will be presenting our capacities at the University of Birmingham for alloy development, manufacturing, testing and irradiation. Examples will be given on additive manufacturing of Cu/Cu alloys and W, in situ mechanical testing of steels, and irradiation tests using the cyclotron.
