Developing steels for service in fusion reactors

Abstract

Steels used in the fusion reactors of the future will be exposed to a high-energy neutron irradiation field at elevated temperatures. To reduce the production of long-lived radioactive isotopes and deleterious mechanical effects, steels are being developed in which certain common alloying elements are eliminated. Several such new ferritic/martensitic steels show excellent properties in the unirradiated condition as well as after neutron irradiation in a fast-fission reactor.
