CX-018592: Mechanistic Understanding of Radiolytically Assisted Hydrothermal Corrosion of Silicon Carbide in Light Water Reactor Coolant Environments - University of Michigan

The University of Michigan, in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC, proposes to develop a mechanistic understanding of the hydrothermal corrosion behavior of monolithic silicon carbide and silicon carbide/silicon carbide composites in light water reactor environments under the influence of water radiolysis products and radiation damage.
