Even though similar materials are used and the temperatures and applied stresses to which materials are subjected in a nuclear system are similar to those in a fossil fired energy plant, the materials degradation is dramatically different. Degradation happens faster in nuclear systems and unique degradation modes like void swelling and irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking on occur in nuclear systems. All this can be tied to the displacement of atoms by high-energy neutrons from fission. This talk will explain the degradation that occurs in a nuclear system, why it is unique, and how it is mitigated.
Prof. Allen is an Associate Professor in the Dept. of Engineering Physics at the University of Wisconsin – Madison since 2003. Prof. Allen’s research expertise is in the area of materials related issues in nuclear reactors, specifically radiation damage and corrosion. Dr. Allen has established the Extreme Environment Laboratory equipped with facilities for a wide array of high temperature studies as well as the ion beam laboratory for radiation damage studies. Dr. Allen is also the Scientific Director for the Advanced Test Reactor National Scientific User Facility at Idaho National Laboratory, a position that he holds in conjunction with his faculty position at the University of Wisconsin.
