This report provides an overview of degradation mechanisms and models for liquid metal embrittlement (LME) with the objective establish mechanistic models for better understanding of LME and engineering models for quantitative and robust assessment of LME for components in nuclear reactors coole...
In the present work, the release from 15 samples of crystalware was investigated with respect to migration of metals in different conditions from different samples. Three test regimes were compared. The first one, currently in use for ceramic, foresees the use of acetic acid 4% as simulant and t...
