  1. RaDIATEMeeting January 2012 P. Hurh RaDIATE January 2013 Meeting

  2. Agenda • RaDIATENews (MOU status, Postdoc recruitment status, NNUF, etc.) • Status Updates • Stage 1 on Be • Stage 1 on Graphite • DPA and gas production modeling • BLIP graphite progress • Review Parameter Space and Materials Tables • MARS modeling of lower energy ion beam on low-Z materials (compare to high energy proton?) • Materials pros and cons chart P. Hurh RaDIATE January 2013 Meeting

  3. RaDIATE News • MOU • Halfway through DOE approval (looking good) • Post-doc recruitment • No good candidates? • Post-pone recruitment even further? • Project X Energy Station Workshop • Starts tomorrow • Interesting talk on Comparability of Proton to Neutron irradiation • NNUF approval construction news? P. Hurh RaDIATE January 2013 Meeting

  4. Status Reports • Be literature study • Graphite literature study? • Modeling? • BLIP status (next trip dates?) • Any other? • Reminder: Interim report due end of Feb. Final report due end of May/beginning of June P. Hurh RaDIATE January 2013 Meeting

  5. White Board and IMT Tables • Some corrections/additions done by Kavin • Stage 1 teams need to decide in the next few months whether we can work with the materials we have or whether we will need new irradiations P. Hurh RaDIATE January 2013 Meeting

  6. Damage profile comparison • What is the energy of the many ion beam accelerator facilities? • How does the damage and gas production compare to that of high energy (>200 MeV) protons? • Can we utilize these facilities for efficient irradiations of materials? • For Be, can use micro-mechanics? • For Graphite, how thick does the damaged layer have to be for meaningful results? P. Hurh RaDIATE January 2013 Meeting

  7. Practical Pros/Cons P. Hurh RaDIATE January 2013 Meeting

  8. Action Item List from December • Add Logo artfully to the web-site (Hartsell) • Add minutes and presentation files to the web-site (Hurh, Hartsell) • Send updates to white board table and IMT to K. Ammigan (All) • Put together list of cases for simulation (DPA and gas production) and prioritize for Nikolai. After Nikolai does the first couple then we should be able to have S. Brooks or B. Hartsell run some (when they have MARS 15 latest version installed) • Oxford team (namely Barry) to continue literature review on Be and graphite to fulfill RaDIATE Stage 1. Perhaps Barry could summarize what he has found so far on Be damage and oxidation and distribute before the next meeting? (B. Jones, C. English) P. Hurh RaDIATE January 2013 Meeting

  9. Action Item List from December • Follow-up small meeting with S. Roberts to talk about post-doc recruitment (P. Hurh) • Follow-up with J. Marrow/S. Roberts on graphite characterization (Hurh, Ammigan) • Arrange Doodle poll for next meeting (Hurh) • Follow-up on MOU status (Hurh) • Continue C-C testing work at BLIP (Simos, Hurh, Ammigan) • Run a few cases of low energy beam on low-Z targets in MARS to compare the “damage profile” to that of high energy beam to help evaluate possible irradiation facilities for use in RaDIATE studies. P. Hurh RaDIATE January 2013 Meeting

  10. Action Item List from November • Brian Hartsell to establish list-serv address for RaDIATE • S. Brooks and P. Hurh to coordinate web-site information (PASI and RaDIATE) • Nick Simos, Pat Hurh, and KavinAmmigan to continue graphite irradiation research at BLIP • Extra Credit: Generate ideas for an ultra-cool, super-sweet, totally awesome RaDIATE Logo! P. Hurh RaDIATE January 2013 Meeting

  11. Next Meeting • End of February? P. Hurh RaDIATE January 2013 Meeting
