Data Analysis Notes
• In the following plots a consistent color and plotting scheme is used:– Filled data points and solid lines are AX direction– Open data points and dotted lines are TR direction– Error bars are one standard deviation (data points without
error bars are measurements from one specimen)– In plot legends the IG-110 is only listed by average
temperature, which IG-430 has the material label included– Data point shapes and color family were kept the same
for IG-110 and IG-430 (i.e. 319°C IG-110 red circles and IG-430 are pink circles)

20 Toyo Program Update
Irradiated Young’s Modulus Change Correlates with Density Change
28.4
00
EE
• Irradiated Young’s modulus correlates very well with density (and electrical conductivity).
• Density exponent for irradiation-induced modulus changes appears significantly greater than that for oxidation-induced modulus decrease.
• Large (>> 1) density exponent indicates that pores responsible for modulus variations are extremely non-spherical.

22 Toyo Program Update
Summary
• PIE-1 campaign is in progress
• Initial results show expected trends– All observations consistent with each other and known trends in
early contraction regime– Observed difference in dimensional behavior depending on axial or
transverse relation to gravity during molding
• Findings / implications from additional analyses– Structural term dominates in modulus change in this dose range
• Source mainly from crack closure
– Decrease in intrinsic thermal conductivity more significant than in apparent conductivity
• More PIE-1 and PIE-2 results to come– Higher fluence– Higher temperatures
