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.

The most effective matching of alloys to the needs of advanced high-temperature gas-cooled reactors requires not only a knowledge of material properties, but also some understanding of the inherent general characteristics of this type of alloy. Some of the characteristic features of high-temperature nickel-based alloys are explored and general guidelines offered for their most effective use. Examples are drawn from three commercial materials: Inconel alloy 617, Incoloy alloy 800H, and Nimonic alloy 86. Such items as hot and cold working, heat treating, welding, and mechanical properties are considered.
