The figure below shows an example of irradiation temperature setting for material irradiation in the 6th row. The temperature of the coolant flowing inside the irradiation rig is about 450°C at the top. The temperature of the sample in the inert gas becomes higher than the coolant temperature due to γ-ray heat generation, etc. The maximum sample temperature in this example is 650°C, but it can be set in the range of 250*) to 1000°C by changing the type of inert gas or the gap size.
*) Operation with a reactor coolant inlet temperature of 250°C |
