High Temperature Irradiation Facility (HTIF)
Fall 2005 — Spring 2006

• Designed to provide a test irradiation enviroment for high temperature, gas cooled materials.
• Sample materials will be irradiated in tungsten capsules from 1000^oC - 1400^oC.
• Nuclear heating in combination with a controlled conductivity gap achieves temperature control.
• Ex-core data acquisition system monitors temperatures and gas flow rates.
• Successful irradiations of Silicon carbide materials can lead to alumina and zircona based ceramic or ceramic fiber composites as well as graphite and graphite fiber composites.
