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 dependence of ductile-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) on tempering time and temperature was examined for a martensitic steel F82H irradiated at 150 and 250°C to a neutron dose of 1.9 dpa in the JMTR. The heat treatment was performed at 750 and 780°C for 0.5 h after the normalizing at 1040°C for 0.5 h. The tempering time at 750°C was varied from 0.5 to 10 h. 1/3CVN specimens were used in this study, and the absorbed energies in the impact tests were measured as a function of temperature. DBTT of F82H steels irradiated at 250°C to 1.9 dpa was ranged from -23 to 25°C, and DBTT of F82H steels irradiated at 150°C to 1.9 dpa was ranged from 0 to 15°C. DBTT of F82H steels irradiated at 250°C depended strongly on temperature and time of tempering, and it tended to decrease with increasing yield stress. The effect of tempering conditions on DBTT was smaller in the specimens irradiated at 150°C. DBTT due to irradiation in the F82H steels irradiated at 250°C tended to decrease with increasing time and temperature of tempering.
