Popis:	An experiment to directly compare the effects of neutron fluence received at steady temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of candidate fusion reactor structural materials to the effects of receiving 10% of the fluence at reduced temperature has been designed. The Varying Temperature Experiment is being fabricated for irradiation in a large Removable Beryllium (RB) position of the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR). For this experiment, specimen temperatures are elevated and controlled whenever there is substantial neutron fluence to the specimens (reactor power > 10%). Half of the specimens are irradiated at two distinct temperatures, and half are irradiated at constant temperature. The capsule features to meet these requirements are described. The experiment will operate for ten reactor cycles beginning in early 1998. This project is a collaborative effort under the Japan-USA cooperative program (Jupiter Project).
