Influence of Radiation Upon Corrosion and Surface Reactions of Metals and Alloys

A discussion of various factors in corrosion of irradiated metallic surfaces is presented. The usual mechanisms of metallic corrosion, such as direct chemi-cal reactions, direct solution (mass transfer), and electrochemical mechanisms, are considered in relation to the effects of light and x rays. In addition, corrosion of reactor materials in aqueous materials is considered. The effect of irradiation on gas -solid reactions is discussed as well as proton irradiation effects on surface reactions. Several tables and graphs are included. (J.R.D.

Comparison of BEO Versus Graphite as a Moderator for MGCR

The comparison is made on the basis of nuclear requirements, properties, cost, and performance under irradiation. Results of published work were reviewed on the effects of irradiation on beryllium oxide and beryllium oxide - uranium dioxide dispersions. A research proposal for a Maritime Gas-cooled Reaotor Moderator is included. (J.R.D.
