The aim of the project is to commission new testing facilities for determining mechanical, thermophysical and microscopic material properties inside and outside the hot cells and to further develop standardised methods for examining irradiated samples after irradiation to quantify radiation damage.
- Supervision of the manufacture and assembly of equipment inside and outside hot cells for the examination of irradiated samples
- Production and metallography of samples for electron microscopy
- Development and implementation of methods for visualising and quantifying radiation damage using transmission electron microscopy
- Differentiation and quantification of displacement and transmutation damage in irradiated samples using electron microscopy and glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy
- Presentation of research results at national and international conferences and publication in renowned journals.
- Collaboration with internal and external project partners at the research centre and at national and international research sites
