Collaboration Meeting • May 19 • Need to plan: • web-site • registration(?) • agenda • Draft Agenda • MOU revision review • Status reports • Strategy for cost-effective irradiations • Technical Meeting Planning • How many participants plan to attend? P. Hurh RaDIATE Feb 2014 Meeting
Technical Meeting Topics • What should be the next 2 tech meeting topics? • DPA calculation • ASTM “standard” versus more technically “correct” MARS/FLUKA • MARS to FLUKA differences (?) • Can we come up with some validation test (based on known microstructural changes with DPA? • Low-energy to High-energy irradiation correlation • Can we get Gary Was for a guest lecture? (possible Fermilab seminar?) • Other ideas? P. Hurh RaDIATE Feb 2014 Meeting
