"Corrosion and Compatibility of Nuclear Materials,"
Materials play a critical role in the long-term integrity of nuclear applications. The existing materials in the nuclear industry are being pushed well beyond their original design life. The expanding use of new coatings, fuels, coolants, and other materials for the nuclear industry in new applications also need to be ensured through compatibility testing. These materials will be analyzed for safe long-term usage through compatibility and corrosion tests that provide insight into the development, selection, and maintenance of these materials. A wide variety of analyses performed by previous researchers exists but no overlying capability to assess the value of the data and to use it currently exists. The U.S. Department of Energy is sponsoring a project to develop a materials compatibility database that will compile and assess the existing literature and perform testing to fill the gaps in the existing research. Users, designers, regulators, and others involved in the nuclear industry are invited to participate in this groundbreaking new research project. Details regarding the materials compatibility project database will be given with a focus on corrosion issues. The development and use of a new furnace system for simultaneous assessment of numerous materials will also be presented.
