Candidates for leadership provide statements: ANS Board of Directors
With the annual ANS election right around the corner, American Nuclear Society members will be going to the polls to vote for a vice president/president-elect, treasurer, and members-at-large for the Board of Directors. In January, Nuclear News published statements from candidates for vice president/president-elect and treasurer. This month, we are featuring statements from each nominee for the Board of Directors.

Segments of Type-304L stainless-steel cladding from irradiated EBR-II fuel elements have been used for burst tests from room temperature to 1000°C. The cladding had accumulated exposures of (0.5 to 1.4) × 1022 n/cm2 (> 0.1 MeV) at temperatures between 370 and 500°C. In burst tests at ≤ 700°C, the greater strength was on the lower half of the irradiated cladding where the irradiation temperature was < 475°C. Tests at 800, 900, and 1000°C each showed uniform strength along the lengths of the cladding. The strength of the irradiated specimens decreased most rapidly with temperatures between 400 and 700°C. Unirradiated specimens were weaker than irradiated ones below 700°C; above 700°C, the unirradiated specimens were slightly stronger. The irradiated and the unirradiated specimens had low uniform strain (∼1 and ∼10%, respectively) at temperature of ∼ 400 to 500°C.
