An experimental study on the neutron irradiation induced thermal properties
and dimensional changes of various carbon based materials has been carried
using the High Flux Reactor (HFR) of Petten. The investigated materials in
clude: DUNLOP concept 1 and concept 2, SEPCARB N112, SEPCARB N312B, SEPCARB
NS11 and RGTi(91) graphite. The two irradiation temperatures are about 350
degrees C and 800 degrees C, and the neutron dose is about 0.3 dpa. This p
aper presents the experimental results on the neutron induced dimensional,
specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity changes. (C) 2000 Elsevier
