Materials for Spallation Neutron Sources

The scope of this proceedings volume includes the selection and behaviour of materials for spallation neutron sources, such as those under construction or design for facilities for neutron scattering and diffraction research, accelerator transmutation of waste, acclerator production of tritium and accelerator-based conversion of plutonium.

An emphasis is placed on the coverage of target and blanket components.

Topics include: radiation effects, corrosion and compatibility, mechanical and physical properties, microstructural and dimensional changes, neutronics and system design.
