Division Spotlight
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

Christmas Night
Twas the night before Christmas when all through the houseNo electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged in by the chimney with careWith the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

The corrosion behavior of several Fe-Ni-Cr alloys in static liquid lithium are reported in this paper. The alloys were 316SS, Ti-modified 316SS, HR-1, low activity HT-9, HT-9 and HT-7 steels. After exposure in lithium at 500°C for 963, 1295, 1707, 2115 and 2495 hours the weight changes of the corroded specimens were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope and electron probe. The results showed that big differences exist between the auste-nitic stainless steels and the ferritic steels. Besides, the effects of nitrogen content on the lithium corrosion behavior of the alloys are also given.
