Radiation Damage to Materials at Spallation Neutron Sources (SNS's)
Abstract
SNS's are currently under design at ORNL and LANL. Materials at these SNS's are bombarded by 1 GeV protons and the resulting spallation neutrons. Calculation of the ensuing radiation damage (displacements, helium and hydrogen gas atoms, and transmutation products) is described, and the significance of the damage to components in service is discussed.
