INCREASE-I Irradiation Experimental System Deployment at MITR
Sector: Water Supply and Storage • Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
Source: American Nuclear Society (ANS)
The INCREASE-I project involves deploying a new irradiation experimental system at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Reactor (MITR) to conduct stress-relaxation tests of stainless steel. This system is part of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency's FIDES-II program, designed to test structural materials for light water reactors using a modular and adaptable capsule design for international resea
