| Nanoscale oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels are considered promising candidate cladding and/or structural materials for nuclear systems due to their expected radiation resistance and high-temperature creep strength. Since the oxide nanocluster dispersions are believed critical to both the high temperature strength and the potential radiation resistance, the long-term stability of the nanoclusters under irradiation is an important issue. Various experimental and modeling techniques that have been implemented to study the stability of the clusters and the results will be discussed. |
