Graphite Testing for Nuclear Applications: The Validity and Extension of Test Methods for Material Exposed to Operating Reactor Environments

Editor(s): Athanasia Tzelepi, Martin Metcalfe

This is a companion to Graphite Testing for Nuclear Applications: The Significance of Test Specimen Volume and Geometry and the Statistical Significance of Test Specimen Population (STP1578). The current comprehensive set of test standards, practices, guides, and specifications were developed principally to support manufacturers of carbon and graphite products where there are no constraints on test specimen volume or geometry, nor on testing environment. However, materials testing for nuclear reactor applications presents a number of constraints with potentially non-compliant application of standards without additional guidance. The first STP focused on the testing of as-manufactured material. This second STP moves the focus to the challenges of testing materials that have been exposed to reactor operating environments and to the preparation of material representative of that exposed to a reactor operating environment that can then be characterized using existing standards. The content of this STP comprises papers based topics such as measurement strategy and characterization, physical and mechanical property measurements, and molten salt reactors and oxidation.
