Ion beam method to speed nuclear core material qualification
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 30, 2026
An ion beam based method for qualifying materials for use in the cores of advanced nuclear reactors is moving into industry standards this year, offering a path that is about a thousand times faster and far cheaper than conventional test reactor approaches. The methodology is advancing through stages of approval by the standards organization ASTM and will be presented at a special Electric Power
