System and methods for mitigating effects of radiation on composite structures
Systems (100) and methods (600) for providing a product with a radiation mitigation feature. The methods comprise: obtaining a composite base layer formed of a fiber-reinforced material; and performing a deposition process to dispose a first coating layer on the composite base layer so as to form the product with a radiation barrier, the first coating layer comprising 35% by mass or less of a metal constituent, at least 65% by mass of a germanium constituent, a zero or substantially zero coating stress, and/or an overall thickness between 2 microns and 8 microns.
Electronic enclosure with neutron shield for nuclear in-core applications
An enclosure for non-organic electronic components is provided which includes an inner cavity for housing non-organic electronic components and a neutron shielding barrier surrounding the inner cavity and the electronic components housed within the cavity. The barrier is formed from a neutron reflecting material in solid or powdered form and a neutron absorbing material in solid or powdered form. An optional structural support is provided in certain aspects of the enclosure design.

Shielding structure of safety inspection equipment and safety inspection channel
A shielding structure of the safety inspection equipment includes a first carbon fiber layer, a polyurethane layer and a second carbon fiber layer, which are sequentially stacked to be configured as a shielding channel with two opened ends. The second carbon fiber layer is an outer layer of the shielding channel. The first carbon fiber layer and the second carbon fiber layer are made of carbon fiber materials. The polyurethane layer is made of polyurethane materials.
COATED MICROFIBROUS WEB AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME
A coated microfibrous web, a method for producing the same, the use thereof as a covering of a radiation protection material, and a radiation protection device are described. The coated microfibrous web contains: (i) a microfibrous web containing one or more polyesters and/or one or more polyamides and/or one or more polyamide-polyester copolymers and having an impregnation composition containing (a) an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, the dicarboxylic groups of which are each esterified with a diol, and/or (b) one or more oligomers, each containing 2 to 10 repeat units consisting of a monoester of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid impregnated with a diol; and (ii) a layer comprising polyurethane which is present only on one side of the microfibrous web.
Radiation resistant high-entropy alloy having FCC structure and preparation method thereof
A radiation resistant high-entropy alloy is provided, having an FCC structure, defined by general formula of FeCoNiVMoTi.sub.xCr.sub.y, where 0.05≤x≤0.2, 0.05≤y≤0.3, x and y are molar ratios. The radiation resistant high-entropy alloy has excellent irradiation resistance and is subject to radiation hardening saturation at high temperature (600° C.) in a condition of a high dose (1-3×10.sup.16 ions/cm.sup.2) of helium ion irradiation. A lattice constant of the high-entropy alloy decreases abnormally after irradiation. The high-entropy alloy has a radiation resistance far higher than that of a conventional alloy and has an excellent plasticity and specific strength. In an as-cast condition and at room temperature, a tensile break strength of the high-entropy alloy is higher than 580 MPa, an engineering strain (a tensile elongation) of the high-entropy alloy is greater than 30%.
