Abstract

Accurate computational modeling of fusion reactors depends upon precise figures of merit for radiation damage. The Norgett-Robinson-Torrens displacements per atom (NRT-dpa) model, a gold standard parameter for characterizing primary damage in solids, has been shown to overestimate surviving Frenkel defects in materials under high-energy irradiation. Here, we investigate the NRT-dpa model at higher primary knock-on atom (PKA) energies for six pure metals of interest in fusion. We compute updated defect production efficiency values and athermal recombination corrected (ARC)-dpa efficiency parameters for each element, which can be used for increased accuracy in neutronics simulations and fitting other extensions to the NRT-dpa.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Nuclear Materials publishes high quality papers in materials research for nuclear applications, primarily fission reactors, fusion reactors, and similar environments including radiation areas of charged particle accelerators. Both original research and critical review papers covering experimental, theoretical, and computational aspects of either fundamental or applied nature are welcome. The breadth of the field is such that a wide range of processes and properties in the field of materials science and engineering is of interest to the readership, spanning atom-scale processes, microstructures, thermodynamics, mechanical properties, physical properties, and corrosion, for example. Topics covered by JNM Fission reactor materials, including fuels, cladding, core structures, pressure vessels, coolant interactions with materials, moderator and control components, fission product behavior. Materials aspects of the entire fuel cycle. Materials aspects of the actinides and their compounds. Performance of nuclear waste materials; materials aspects of the immobilization of wastes. Fusion reactor materials, including first walls, blankets, insulators and magnets. Neutron and charged particle radiation effects in materials, including defects, transmutations, microstructures, phase changes and macroscopic properties. Interaction of plasmas, ion beams, electron beams and electromagnetic radiation with materials relevant to nuclear systems.
