Low dose hypersensitivity after high-LET irradiation

An unexpected hypersensitivity has been reported for several cell lines at low doses (<1Gy), which is not consistent with the linear-quadratic approach currently used in general for the description of survival curves [1,2,3,4]. The corresponding substructure of the survival curves has been attributed to induced radioresistance. There are indications, that high-LET irradiation with neutron or pi...

The Effect of Low Dose-Rate Irradiation on the Microstructure of 304 Stainless Steel*

Changes in mechanical and corrosion properties caused by the development of radiationinduced microstructure have relevance to the aging and lifetime extension of light water reactors (LWR’S). However, much of the current data related to microstructural development in irradiated metals are generated from studies carried out at much higher dose-rates than encountered in LWR’S. An opportunity exis...

Synthesis and Sintering of Ti3SiC2–SiC Composites through Reactive Hot-Pressing of TiC and Si Precursors

MAX phases are an attractive class of layered solids that have recently attracted a great deal of attention due to their unusual and unique composition. The ternary compound Ti3SiC2 is an example of a material that combines the properties of ceramics and metals. As a ceramic, they are high stiff. Some of them are resistant to oxidation, creep, fatigue, corrosion. They are extremely refractory a...
